A bit about me

I was born in Asti, Italy, in 1994, and my love for photography began at the age of 14, when I won my very first camera in a school competition. I didn’t know it at the time, but that little camera would become the beginning of a lifelong journey.


I studied Multimedia Arts in a small mountain town in Italy, where I began exhibiting my work and discovering the many ways photography could tell a story. In 2016, curiosity took me to England for eight months, where I worked as a barista while collaborating with photography studios. Living in a different country opened my eyes to new people, places and perspectives...and made me want to see even more of the world.


When I returned to Italy, I continued my studies at LABA Academy of Brescia, completing a Master's Degree in Architectural Photography with honours in 2019. During those years, I worked as a wedding photographer in Verona and collaborated on a variety of university and creative projects.


Later that same year, I moved to Australia. In 2020, I began building my photography career here from the ground up.


Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a wide range of projects throughout Australia: from architecture and interiors to commercial campaigns, real estate, Airbnb properties, events and weddings. I’ve photographed homes for real estate agencies, worked alongside architects, designers and property professionals, and collaborated with established photography businesses within the Australian architecture and property industry.


Today, alongside my own photography practice, I collaborate with two major architecture photography businesses, while working directly with clients who value thoughtful, honest and carefully crafted imagery.


My work is primarily focused on Architecture, Interiors, Commercial and Real Estate photography, but I also love photographing weddings, private events and people... anything that gives me the opportunity to capture something real.


Having lived in 15 different homes across three countries, I’ve developed a particular sensitivity to the spaces we live in and the stories they hold. Moving between countries has taught me that every place has its own character, and that sometimes the smallest details are the ones worth remembering.


Perhaps that’s why I believe a photograph can be much more than an image. It can capture a feeling, a memory, the atmosphere of a space, or the beauty of something that might otherwise go unnoticed.


When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me playing the piano, writing poetry, exploring somewhere surrounded by nature, or looking for the best Italian food I can find.


For me, photography is ultimately about one thing:


helping people see the beauty in what surrounds them.


NAMASTE!
