ciro received his first camera at age ten (hmm, just like phil toledano) from his parents.

although selective use of color is a leitmotif here, ciro also has some compelling black and white photos.

austere, abstract and intense.

Hi, just come across your site whilst searching for more of Ciro’s work. I find his work inspiring, amazing in it’s simplicity!

I live in Sihanoukville but have yet to bump into him.

Thank you for the images.
