ABOUT

Photography is a great passion of mine and it perfectly reflects my personality! I’ve always been a creative type of guy and since I was a child I have cultivated hobbies that, in one way or another, would imply the use of shapes and colors: hand drawing, cooking, computer graphics and web design.

​

This side of my character lives together with others that are apparently antithetical, and that also led me to get a degree in Mechanical Engineering: the rigors, the schematic approach, the understanding and application of precise rules.

​

From this contrast comes my approach to photography, which joins technical research with the creative use of shapes, lights and colors.

I have always loved taking pictures, but the step change came in 2005, by chance: since I was looking for a new compact digital camera, I bought some photography magazines where I read for the first time about DSLR cameras and photographic techniques: a first test of a DSLR in a camera shop triggered the spark!

​

​My photography goes from studio portraits up to reportage in natural light. Between these two extremes there is my ideal setup, where I am adding flash to natural light, in order to have full control of light and color. Shooting sessions happen in a very relaxed and informal way, in various types of location, indoor and outdoor.
