Giulio Aprin aka Sahara Man 🥷
I am a photographer, an explorer and storyteller who captures the mystery, complexity, diversity, and raw power of the natural world.
I spent the last six years exploring desert regions of the planet from the Wadi Rum Desert to the Sahara.

Right on the border with Tunisia, about 50 km from Ghadames, there is a salt flat called Sabkhat Mujazzam, where Ain Eddban lies. The name derives from Arabic and refers to the two adjacent lakes which, when seen from above, resemble the eyes of a fly. This area, considered a depression, was most likely a salt lake that has now dried up, revealing two small lakes, one freshwater and one saltwater. An extremely mysterious place that remains poorly documented to this day.

For those wondering, yes, I am still here. While words of encouragement are appreciated, I’ve adapted my focus to match current realities.
I am still photographing (as I have for over two decades) and will continue minting my work on the blockchain.
My lower activity here simply means I’m busy in the field working on multiple active projects.
Beyond digital mints, my work is also available as physical prints, exclusively upon request. If you are interested in acquiring pieces, learning more about my portfolio, or discussing upcoming projects, feel free to reach out directly.
My commitment to NFTs is personal and of self-determination through decentralization. It doesn't follow the logic of the market, much less the logic of hyped dynamics and manipulative marketing. I am not here to please digital narcissists or anyone who doesn't have at the core of their values authenticity, honesty, and a deep interest for art and everything that entails it.
If you are chasing money, I am chasing passion.

In a hyper-connected world, the desert remains one of the few places where silence is absolute and scale puts everything into perspective.
My life's work is rooted in tracking these vast, untamed environments and documenting the raw spirit of these landscapes. I don’t just capture landscapes; I capture endurance, solitude, and the raw poetry of spaces left untouched by modern noise.
Some places refuse to be tamed. They simply remain, waiting for someone to witness them.
