I’m Stella Del Curto, born in Locarno, Switzerland, the 27 December 1983.

I have always loved taking pictures but photography has become a great part of my life starting from 2005, when I bought my first DSLR camera. Two years later, in March 2007, I have started my diving experience in the cold waters of the Lake Maggiore. Merge these two big passions has been a natural evolution, and I have always worked
for become a better diver and a better photographer, refining
my skills.

Through the years I developed a particular focus in taking pictures in demanding environments like caves, deep wrecks or deep
reefs / walls. I love tell stories through my images, making visible to everyone the stunning creations that our Mother Nature has hidden underwater and sometime even underground: with this goal in mind
I explore all the places below the surface: sea, cave, river, lake... doesn’t matter where, if there is water there I am.

When I'm not underwater I can be found somewhere else outdoor for running, hiking or snowboarding.
