Based between Rome and London, I'm a photographer and filmmaker with a passion for capturing compelling stories that resonate on a human level. My work spans editorial photography, commercial photography, and documentary filmmaking, always with an eye for striking visuals and authentic narratives.

Whether I'm documenting the raw energy of a boxing ring in Thailand for an editorial spread or capturing the complexities of conflict in the Middle East for a documentary film, I'm drawn to experiences that reveal the diversity of human experience. This drive to explore different cultures and perspectives informs both my editorial work for magazines and my approach to commercial projects for brands and advertising agencies.

My photography has been featured in publications like Emergency Magazine, Io Donna, Internazionale, and La Repubblica. I've also had the opportunity to collaborate with organizations like the Contrasto agency. In addition to my photography, I directed the internationally acclaimed documentary "Sanpeet" (2004), about a young Thai boxer, which screened at festivals like IDFA and the Turin Film Festival. You can watch it here.

My background also includes extensive experience in photojournalism, portraiture, and on-set photography. I've had the privilege of working on projects like:

Photo set design: "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" (CineRoma 2004), "Ben Hur" (CineRoma, 2015)

Backstage photography: Peroni commercial (CineRoma, 2012), Staysure commercial (CineRoma, 2016), TV show "Mozart in the Jungle" (Amazon/CineRoma, 2016)

Video assist: "All You Wish For" (CineRoma 2015)

I'm always excited to connect with new collaborators and explore projects that align with my passion for visual storytelling.
