«I am an Italian photographer based in Naples, working across Italy, Portugal and Europe. My work draws from cinema's visual grammar — light shaped with intention, frames composed for narrative, color graded the way a film is finished. I photograph people who want a portrait that feels like a still from their own story, brands who need imagery that holds attention longer than a scroll, places that deserve to be seen from above and the abandoned interiors that hold Europe's other history.»

About

The story behind the lens

Milan, then Lisbon, now Naples. Ten years of portraits, aerial and commercial work for clients across Italy, Portugal and Europe. Every shoot starts the same way — with a conversation, then a plan, then the kind of patience that lets the image find itself.
