I am a photographer based in Lisbon, Portugal. Born in Torino, Italy in 1984, son of a painter (mother) and a physicist (father). I grew up expressing myself in the visual arts through painting and drawing, taking advantage of the surroundings favorable to art at home.
After following the path of physics in college, I began expressing myself again in the visual arts through photography, later delving entirely into the richness of this art and maturing into it. I find some of my deepest inspiration in books I read, and sometimes I seek to reconcile the imagery I make with my background.
I usually photograph on medium format film, but definitely don’t limit myself to this format. Mostly, I like experimenting, observing, and chasing after my curiosity, which I do through photography just as I’ve always done through the physical sciences. In no way do I see my scientific background as a contrast to my artistic background - in fact, I believe they are part of the same expression.
What you see on this website is some of my personal work. I also do commissioned work, portraits, events, editorial and commercial work upon request, and am always looking for collaborations on interesting projects. Contact me for more information.
