Everyone is a photographer, especially these days where we are able to capture a moment and crop our world every-time we like to with our phone. How can fully understand if a picture or a moment is good for that image? how can you use the right tools? What is behind all the post production process with advance tools such us Adobe Suite or even the basic adjustments you can find on every smartphones? Well I can answer these and many more questions you might have.
I am an Italian professional photographer specialised in documentary photography and I have been teaching photography in schools for the past 5 years now. I work in Berlin now and I also give extra private class to people who would like to know more about photography and specific aspects of that.
I am open to guide you and fully understand the topic you would like to learn more.


looking forward to hearing from you!

About Me
I am an Italian documentary and story teller photographer mostly focused on social environmental and scientific issues.
I studied photography in Florence (Apab, Marangoni) and Boston at the New England School Of Photography (NESOP). Once I had finished my studies in General Biology at the Children’s Hospital I decided to put all my effort into portraying my own interpretation of reality through the lens of the camera.
Among several collaborations such as photographer Alessandro Bencini, Fzero Studio, e-Pitti, De Biasi, I have also worked with the Terra Project collective and am now developing my own photography projects around the world.
My irrepressible street photographer nature and spirit has led to several exhibitions of my projects being held in galleries and artist's studios in Italy and abroad.
I taught photography at the Michelangelo Institute in Florence besides assignments for events, commercials and fashion as a freelance photographer.
My own photography is based on an attention to composition and searching for the light in order to draw out the image with its own melancholy and dark bitter sweet feeling atmosphere that often reflects the personality of the artist.

As a musician and component of a band I have more than 15 years of experience in the field. I can help you find your style of music or helping you write music as well.
I learned the piano when I was a kid working mainly on modern, minimalistic and experimental type of music. I have learned the acoustic guitar by myself mainly and I took voice lessons for 4 years in my twenties. I play with my electric guitarist at the moment developing new material for a new EP.

If you are interested do not hesitate to contact me!
