BIO & PRESS

Photographer & Art Director | Los Angeles

I’m a commercial photographer and art director based in Los Angeles. For over 20 years, I’ve created portraits, lifestyle campaigns, and documentary work for brands, agencies, and editorial clients.

Originally from Italy, I moved to the United States in 2002, first San Francisco, then Los Angeles.

The multicultural energy of California combined with the European visual sensibility I grew up with shaped how I approach photography: looking for authentic moments, real expressions, and the human story behind every frame.

What drives this work is connection, that moment when someone in front of the camera stops performing and simply becomes themselves. Whether photographing or directing, I'm looking for the unguarded moment, the real person, the story that reveals itself in color and light.

I see life in color, and I’m always looking for people with compelling and interesting stories. Photography and video are the way I discover them, listen, and bring them to light.
