I am a photographer who has had the immense fortune to be born and grown up in a family, where art and beauty were part of our daily environment. My father, being an artist himself, opened a small gallery and art print shop in the early ’80s. The close contact with this world has certainly influenced my approach to work, people, and life itself.
My real passion for photography began at the end of high school, initially with my father’s old Yashica TL Electro X and then with the legendary FX3, whereby I began experimenting with film shooting and approaching the darkroom. I could rely on the precious support and teaching of a family friend, who was also an historic local photographer.
Over the years, my interest first turned towards entertainment photography, especially in the music industry. Meeting photographer Luca d’Agostino in 2004, marked the beginning of my professional career by joining Phocus Agency, which I am currently a partner and for which I keep following cultural events, music and theatre festivals. At the same time, I have started working on portraiture, mainly with musicians and in the commercial advertising field.
Since 2010, I have been passionate about architectural, interior, commercial and art photography, areas where I have dedicated research and study, constantly trying to improve both my shooting technique and my knowledge, deep into these fascinating areas, from the genius loci to the beauty that overflows from creative impulse.
Since 2019, I have been a photographer for VistaCASA magazine, a bimonthly magazine about architecture in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige; I collaborate with architecture and interior design studios, companies and product companies, as well as corporations, foundations, galleries, museum institutions and artists for the reproduction of works of art, the creation of catalogues and the staging of exhibitions.
I also collaborate with the OAPPC – Ordine degli architetti pianificatori paesaggisti e conservatori della provincia di Udine, with which I published the two volumes “Ritratti 50” (Portraits 50) and together, regularly edit a column in the bimonthly magazine VistaCASA.
I am a member of the National Association of Professional Photographers TAU VISUAL and a CPS Canon Professional Services photographer.
I love photography, so I am lucky enough to work through the art I love most and that is inevitably present in many aspects of my private life. My main goal is to ensure that this authentic feeling is expressed to the fullest and can be felt in my work. Nothing could be more rewarding.
I forgot! I also love electronic music, cinema, good wine, good food, cats, and the most emblematic manifestation of beauty that we have around us: Nature; which despite all odds… still generously gives us hospitality on this planet!
