About Stefano Mitta – Photographer, Instructor & Adventurer

From the Water to the Mountains

I’m Stefano Mitta, a photographer, PADI Master Scuba Dive Trainer, and ISIA certified Snowsports instructor. My life has always revolved around the elements — first as a competitive swimmer, later as a scuba diver, and eventually as a off-piste guide and photographer.

Over the years, I’ve worked in Portofino, St. Moritz, Val d’Isère, Banff, and across Italy and France, always chasing the best snow and the most inspiring light. Along the way, I’ve combined my passions for underwater exploration, snowsports, and photography into a life of adventure.

Whether it’s teaching someone to take their first breaths underwater, guiding a skier through fresh powder, or creating fine art prints that capture a moment in time, my goal is the same: to share what I love with others.

Being curious and creative, I have got a Bachelors of Arts in Industrial Design, which allows me to express myself to the fullest with digital photography and 3D modelling.

Like many photographers, my journey began with a simple 35mm film camera. The magic of capturing light and moments hooked me early on, and everything changed when I received my first digital SLR — photography suddenly became more accessible, and my passion grew even stronger.

Since 2016, I’ve fully embraced the FUJIFILM mirrorless X system, working mainly with the X-Pro2 and X-T2. These cameras give me the same joy and creative spark I felt years ago when I first experimented with my father’s camera.

Every image you see here starts as a RAW file and is carefully processed in Adobe Photoshop — not to manipulate reality, but to faithfully bring out the mood, light, and story I experienced when I pressed the shutter.

If you have questions about my fine art prints, the places I’ve photographed, or my post-processing workflow, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear your thoughts, share insights, or simply connect with fellow lovers of photography.

I speak English, French, and Italian, and I work with people from all over the world. My journey continues, and I’d love for you to be part of it.

Thank you for visiting my site — I hope you enjoy exploring my work as much as I enjoyed creating it.
