Tell us a bit more about your background and your current work: 

I’ve been a freelance photographer for over 10 years now. My work is a mix of nuances that I love to blend with my taste and vision: art, portrait, music, lifestyle, food, and fashion. I’m interested in people, plants, and atmospheres. Above all, to me, photography is more about capturing the poetry of moments than documenting facts, regardless of the subject. It’s a feeling. There’s no formula to my approach. At the moment, I am working on different projects around Italy in beautiful places and with wonderful people: this is the most important thing for me! Stay tuned 😉

What have been some of your favorite projects? 

My favorite projects are the shoots I did with David Zilber in Copenhagen and with Nu Genea in Naples–both of these projects are personal, and I also handled the art direction.

Why did you choose to stay in Italy? 

Because Italy inspires and it’s ‘’casa’’. It’s a place where one can live a thousand different lives. With its raw, chic, punk, elegant, baroque, brutalist, liberty, and renaissance influences. I love its deep and old energy–so small yet so big, diverse yet refined. I just love the country, and I love tuning into its frequency. 

What do you see for the future of the photography industry in Italy?

The photography industry in Italy seems poised for growth, driven by innovation, creativity, and the timeless allure. I believe that images are becoming increasingly important. It’s true that today everyone can produce photos and that AI is becoming more common; maybe one day I’ll try AI to see what it’s like, or maybe I’ll stick to my current methods. I love technology and I’m not afraid of it; I just consider it a new tool for creating images. Maybe I’ll use it, maybe not. I believe that the eye, natural light, situation, and atmosphere are absolutely unique and irreplaceable. Photography, at the end of the day, is an art, an emotion. I think that something visually stimulating opens doors and helps convey a message. Insightful, curious, and beautiful content is always sexy.

What are the greatest hurdles you face?

If I have to find a criticism of this country, it’s that sometimes it seems too comfortable with its infinite beauty. It’s so beautiful that it just works. This often becomes an obstacle because some things are left to chance and not given 100% attention. We are used to a “ready-made” beauty–but, above all, we are immensely fortunate.
