A picture is worth a thousand words.

"I have always been attracted to photography. When I was six or seven years old, I remember my father always carrying a small compact camera with him he snapped continuously, but above all I remember the great passion he had for slides. Turning on the projector with that beam of light crossing the darkness of the living room; hear the noise of the fan cooling and of the trolley that extracted and reinserted the small plastic rectangles; see the images imprinted on a white sheet so vivid and extraordinarily bright, they gave me the feeling of being inside the places photographed and to witness a real magic, just as magical was my other absolute love: cinema. Later, inspired by fantastic films like E.T., Star Wars, Back to the Future, the Goonies, Jurassic Park and many others, I started to making amateur short films on VHS and taking photos, experimenting with techniques, effects, framing, color films and black and white, trying to learn as much as possible from the most famous photographers, directors and special effects. Thus, through a path of study and personal growth, carried out with passion and commitment, today I do the job that I love and which embraces many of the things that fascinate and intrigue me. Thanks to this I consider myself a very, very lucky person.

Quoting a great director, born as a supervisor of effects and become one of the greatest creators of blockbusters Americans, Jim Cameron: “I love to climb a mountain or descend into the depths of the sea, get to see beyond a new horizon and see what lies beyond, only to return back and tell everyone what I saw and felt.”
