Passionate engineer and photographer based in northern Italy. Born into a family of photography enthusiasts, I practically grew up with a camera in hand. From developing photos in my high school darkroom to transitioning to digital, I eventually rediscovered the charm of film shooting.

My photography journey has been shaped by an evolving artistic vision. In the past, I was deeply fascinated by geometries and balance, particularly expressed through black & white minimalism. While these elements remain integral to my style—especially in street and urban photography—I’m now actively exploring the expressive potential of color and flash photography, particularly in portraiture.

I approach photography with an analog mindset, prioritizing thoughtful in-camera composition over extensive post-processing. In my work, I always strive to incorporate interesting geometric compositions and light contrasts, whether I’m shooting with digital cameras or working with 35mm and medium format film.
