Photography

I photograph portraits in black and white, in natural light with fixed lenses. It is the most personal part of my work.

My photography

I have always photographed in black and white. I work mostly with natural light, with people who are not professional models, and I look in every face for the hidden note, the one the person does not know they carry.

I use a Leica SL2 with fixed lenses, no zoom: the 50 mm is my favourite, sometimes I choose the 28 mm and the 85 mm. My mentor and friend is Sergio Derosas, my references are Giovanni Gastel and Steve McCurry.

In 2025 the work “Surrender to Light” was exhibited at the Galleria Dantebus Margutta in Rome.
