Based in the heart of Malta when not working in Sicily, Ramon offers photography tuition, fine art and commercial photography, and high-end digital editing services. Widely recognised as one of Malta’s leading digital image editors, his distinctive style and his meticulous, “hard way” approach to image composition are highly respected.
Ramon’s passion for photography is matched by his dedication to supporting others, whether through digital tuition, fine art printing, or mentoring photographers on their creative journey.
