A photographer by passion and by choice, Venetian at heart and deeply in love with people and their stories.
After the calm of the pandemic, I felt the need to start over with more honesty and clarity. My mission has become simple: to create meaningful and intimate photographic experiences that put people and their emotions at the center.
For me, photography is about connection. Not only with a place, like my beloved Venice, whose quiet and poetic corners I know by heart, but more importantly with people. I love listening, observing carefully and building a real relationship with those I photograph. That’s where every image begins: natural, elegant and timeless.
Whether you’re traveling alone, as a couple, with family, or representing a brand looking for an authentic visual story, I’m here to create something meaningful with you, something that reflects who you really are.
I’ve always shot with Nikon, because I’m in love with warm colors and gradient atmospheres.
Every session starts with your story. I take time to understand who you are and what you want to remember.
I build a real relationship with the people I photograph, so you feel at ease and free to be yourself.
Natural, elegant, timeless images, far from the postcard view and the noise of the crowds.
