I am a freelance photographer and videomaker who, after completing training at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, IED Milan, and DAMS in Bologna, decided to establish my business in Udine, near the Slovenian and Austrian borders. The culture of Friuli Venezia Giulia alone was not enough for me: I felt the need to expand into the Slavic and Germanic world. Furthermore, the vast and diverse nature that surrounds us nourishes the creative process with its subtle energies.
I opened my first photography studio in '87, and since then, I have mainly worked on commission, especially in the fields of publishing, reportage, portrait, design, and industrial photography, also with professional drones. My apprenticeship in Milan allowed me to be close to photographers like Giovanni Gastel, Fabrizio Ferri, and many others. I fondly remember the workshops with renowned figures in international photography such as Gabriele Basilico, Francesco Jodice, and Luigi Ghirri. Travel has been a constant in my life since childhood because "the world is like a book, and those who stay at home are like those who always read the same page". My personal photography projects cover themes ranging from the environment to metropolises; these works have been published and exhibited abroad as well. For many years, I collaborate with educational institutions, particularly in the field of photography education.
