Proffil

Ganwyd Pierino Algieri ym 1955 ac fe'i magwyd yn Nyffryn Conwy. Daeth ei dad, sef Vincenzo Algieri i'r wlad hon fel carcharwr Rhyfel o'r Eidal ac fe'i cadwyd mewn gwersyll yn Llanrwst. Wedi i'r rhyfel ddod i ben fe ymgartrefodd yma i weithio ym maes coedwigaeth a ffermio.

Mae Pierino wedi ymddiddori mewn ffotograffiaeth ers blynyddoedd lawer, ond dim ond yn ddiweddar ym 1995 y dechreuodd ymgymryd â'r peth o ddifrif wedi iddo ymuno a Chlwb Camera Llanrwst. Dysgodd Pierino y grefft hon hyd safon uchel iawn iddo'i hun ac mae'n unigolyn sy'n teimlo'n angerddol dros ffotograffiaeth sy'n ymwneud a'r dirwedd a natur.

Un o'i hoff leoliadau yw Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri. Dyma i chi ardal sy'n llwyddo i'w ysgogi'n ddi-ffael, gan fod pob ddiwrnod gwastad yn wahanol yma.

“Mae tirwedd ysgytwol wych Eryri yn fy syfrdanu i dro ar ôl tro ac mae edrych arni drwy'r camera yn peri i fy enaid esgynâ€.

Llwyddodd Pierino i ennill yr adran ‘Tirwedd Wledig' yng nghystadleuaeth ffotograffiaeth ‘Countryfile' yn BBC ym 1998 gyda'i lun o farics chwarel adfeiliedig, cyhoeddwyd un o'i luniau o afon fynyddig a phibonwy yng nghalendr 2004 hefyd. Yn ogystal â hynny cyhoeddwyd nifer o'i luniau mewn cylchgronau cenedlaethol. Erbyn hyn fe all pobl ar hyd a lled y byd weld ei luniau ar ei wefan ac fe allforiwyd rhai ohonynt i gwsmeriaid a busnesau dramor. Dyfarnwyd 15 o luniau Pierino a gyflwynwyd ganddo gerbron panel o bobl sy'n cynrychioli Cynghrair Ffotograffiaeth Prydain Fawr (CPIPF/PAGB) gyda safon anrhydedd mewn ffotograffiaeth yn 2002.
