Costantino Tessarin is the official photographer of Aboutuganda.com.

Born in Italy on the 25th June 1973, graduated in Contemporary History in Bologna and completed the master degree MSc in Development Studies at SOAS, University of London.

Amazed by the beauty of Uganda, he decided to seriously commit himself to marketing the images of the country so that these could translate into dreams for many people. Living in Kampala and working as a tour organizer and tour guide, he spends most of the time moving around and upcountry with his own camera, which he likes so much. The most important thing for him is to show the best of Uganda, the great opportunities of the country. That is why he is a bit tired of hearing the comments of some foreign developmental worker.

Even though everything in his own house looks to be African style, he cannot totally forget his Italian origin, especially when listening to the music of Loredana Bertè and Alice, cooking some good pasta with ragù and watching the movies of Federico Fellini and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Why Mahatma Ghandi? Of course.

Being photographer and traveller requires at least a minimum physical practice, that is why he could perform so well at the Kampala Marathon. After the Rwenzori adventures, many others will come. The good thing is that every new day is a new idea which starts growing up.
