Bio

I was born and raised in Rome, Italy.

I am a documentary, photojournalist, unit still photographer and travel photographer based in New York City.

After a long period of theater and event photography I decided to focus on a different photographic expression closer to my way of life.

I have been traveling all over the world in the past years seeking a new way to express myself and I learned a lot from cultures so different from my own.

From Rome, I decided to make the great leap and I moved to New York to pursue photography in a different place.

Before the IED – European Institute of Design in Rome and after the ICP – International Center of Photography prepared me to dedicate myself to documentary photography full time, led by curiosity and passion.

My studio is the street, my story the lives people are living.

I’m a member of  Shoot4change a nonprofit organization made out of photographers, designers and artists who share part of their time for shooting humanitarian reportages for NGOs and other social organizations.
