A self-taught photographer, I was born in Rome, Italy in 1974. I got acquainted with my first camera at the age of 16, something I inherited from my dear mother, an avid photographer herself. Over the years, I delved into several different types of photography, from street to architecture to contemplative.
I am particularly interested in poetic photography focusing both on digital and analog techniques. I like to use photography as a way to better understand myself, my fears, and my hopes. Photography for me is a never ending journey, an exploration into my deepest inner feelings, a quest to find my own tangible presence in the world.
My bodies of work focus on identity and the relationships between people and nature. I like to develop subjective narratives resembling personal diaries in which people and animal figures interact with each other, mixed with natural elements and landscapes.
I divide my time between the United States and Italy.
