BIO
Hello there, I’m an Italian photographer and filmmaker, recently a father, and I would feel very stupid if I wrote about myself in the third person.
After graduating in film and theater criticism in 2005, I began working as a freelance filmmaker, making commercials, corporate, music and wedding videos.
In 2009 I attended a master class in "Cinema and Social Commitment" with the director Paolo Benvenuti, which gave me more perspective about the purpose of visual arts.
From 2012 to 2020 I lived and worked in Berlin, where I had the opportunity to explore new concepts of art and to further expand my vision of it. It was also the place where, in 2015, I started taking photography seriously, after an unexpected love affair with it.
I'm curently based in Algarve (Portugal) and my artistic journey it’s about to get interesting.
