ABOUT ME

My story, my life.

You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.

BIOGRAPHY

I was born in Rome, 1984, in a suburban district with a very evocative name: Cinecittà. I was still very young when my interest for photography started, but it was a university course on history and technics of photography that pushed me to delve into its technical and cultural aspects.

I soon realized that I was more interested in photographing persons, in a attempt to narrate their history through shooting. This was the reason that above all pushed me to specialize in reportage. In 2009 I became wedding photographer, a job that does not only enable me to express my creativity, but also furnishes incessant occasions for meeting new people and knowing fabulous places.

I am a member of some of the prestigious international associations of wedding photography from which I have also obtained several recognitions.

WHO I AM

Which are my passions? Since my early days I have been keen on animals, all of them, but I so much adore dogs that I can hardly conceive of my life without having a dog at my side. I am always happy if during a wedding I meet one, and I never miss the occasion for showing my lovely attention.

Then, I love cinema, without distinction of genre or country, in the original language (whenever possible). The study of foreign languages (English and Spanish) is another of my interests and takes a considerable amount of my time. I adore good food and am always open to experiencing new tastes.

Traveling is in the absolute sense what most stimulates me. I deem it very important, an investment for memory so to speak. Each country I have visited and each person I have met have left a permanent trace in my soul.

HOW I WORK

Under these premises it is easy to guess how much I favor spontaneity and naturalness in my job: no banal poses, no expected shoots. No photographic service must be identical or similar to a previous one.

I simply follow the bride and groom along their day as if I were invisible, even though I am in fact keenly present and vigilant. I am always careful not to lose any emotion, ready to catch the arising of a smile, a sign of tenderness, all that can most significantly show the uniqueness of such a day.

Even though I am based in Rome, curiosity and taste for discoveries of new places make me ready for any kind of work in Italy or abroad, so please do not hesitate to contact me for information. Whatever location you may have chosen for your weddings I shall always be delighted to portrait it.
