Born in Tuscany, Italy in 1968, I studied Philosophy at the University of Florence and got a degree in Aesthetics with an essay on Samuel Beckett. I started taking pictures when I was 10 and was trained in black and white and darkroom process by my father, a serigrapher. I took my first professional photo assignment in 1998 as stage photographer for the Teatro di Politeama di Cascina. Since then I have been working as stage photographer for Italian and foreigner theatres, still photographer for TV and movie production.
Today I mostly shoot commercial photography for advertising, editorial and magazines. I still do all my personal and street photography with film cameras, using from 35mm to 4×5”and pinhole cameras.
I am the author of the pictures for two books written by Magdalena Stopa, recently published in Poland: “Chleb po warszawsku” (ed. VEDA), and ”My, rowerzyści z Warszawy” (ed. Stopa Studio).
My pictures were published in Polish magazines like Rczeczpospolita, PrzeKroj, Gazeta Wyborcza. Some of my pictures were featured in the exhibition “Eaststreet” and in its catalogue.
I live between Florence, Italy and Warsaw, Poland where in 2008 my daughter was born. I have my own studio and darkroom in Warsaw and I cooperate with graphics’ studios and designers.
All my images are available as FINE ART PRINTS, in archival certified quality. The prints will have the author’s dry stamp and a signature on the back. Please send me an email for details and prices.
