About me
I started photography when I was 10 and it's been part of my life ever since, as a passion first and as a profession later. I've worked as a fashion photographer for 15 years between Milan and Paris before moving to Costa Rica.
In my career, I have had the opportunity to work on assignment for top magazines such as Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Amica, MarieClaire, Grazia, Bolero, i-D, Condé Nast Traveller, Playboy and many more.
Assignments aside, I've never stopped working on personal projects and I took part in more than 20 exhibitions worldwide. In 2014, with a group of friends, I founded Gigantic, an independent art gallery in Milan. I'm also one of the two founders of Onde Nostre, a video project about surfing in Italy which has won several awards at international surf film festivals worldwide.
I've always enjoyed shooting weddings. There is a mix of excitement and tension that I find very stimulating and I get to witness the love that envelops them. But I'm not going to go on telling you how "I focus on capturing the energy and feelings of those special moments" or how "I want my pictures to make you relive the emotions you felt on that day" because either you can see that in my works or those are just empty words.
