COME WITH ME IN MY WORLD
Poetry, roots, instinct, minimalism
Welcome to my world of heartfelt photography!
I was born in the beautiful region of Puglia, Italy in the ’80s, where I developed a deep love for its culture, scents, and authentic soul. While I call Puglia home, I feel most alive when I’m traveling and exploring new destinations. Life, for me, is about cherishing the simple joys that hold immense value. As an Italian, I embrace the pleasures of coffee, pasta, and wine. Cooking and enjoying a good meal are truly special experiences, especially when shared with great company. In Italy, food brings people together, and I embody this philosophy entirely.
When you visit my studio, you’ll always be greeted with a glass of fine wine.
Despite appearances, I’m an introspective and empathetic person. These qualities shine through in my work. Photography became my refuge during a transformative period in my life when I experienced an existential crisis. It allowed me to capture the essence of love in its purest form.
Through my lens, I seek out the subtle gestures between lovers, the intertwining of hands, and the vulnerable gazes that speak volumes about their connection. These photographs are whispers that transport us back in time, evoking unforgettable and irreplaceable emotions.
My world is a blend of beloved plants, vintage film, the gentle rustling of sheets drying in the sun, and the comforting taste of homemade meals, reminiscent of my grandmother’s kitchen.
It’s filled with old music and nostalgic scents. I cherish small gestures like leaving post-it notes with messages for my loved ones and yearn for those who are absent from my life each day.
I also have countless dreams waiting to be realized.
Join me on this extraordinary journey as we capture the essence of your special day. Together, let’s create timeless memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.
FRAME OF MIND
Italy has always been a crossroads of fantastic cultures that have contributed to creating a “dolce vita” lifestyle that still characterizes my land.
This is what inspires me when I photograph love, worldly pleasures, a carefree and romantic mood, small daily but precious gestures – never take anything for granted – recalling the roots of tradition but in a modern and essential key.
Photography
is always the fruit
of imaginary worlds
that meet
Each photograph is born from the vision of the moment intertwined with one’s cultural background and all those who look at a photograph “read” it according to the life experiences they have lived.
This is the ancestral power of photography.
MY ROOTS
My university career was centered on the history of art, a subject that I love and that has fueled my growth since I was a child when i visited a lot of museums and churchs with my parents.
I love Greco-Roman sculpture, Caravaggio’s light, essential Romanesque architecture, Renaissance elegance and the light of the Macchiaioli, provocation and essentiality of contemporary Art.
I DISCOVERED PHOTOGRAPHY VERY LATE.
AT THE AGE OF 27 I APPROACHED SELF-TAUGHT PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ATTRACTED BY CLASSIC MODELS THAT ARE PURE ELEGANCE AND ESSENTIALITY IN MY IMAGINATION.
SO MUCH SO THAT THIS ELEMENT IS ALSO PRESENT IN MY LOGO.
MY LAND
Italy is at the center of the Mediterranean
sea and it is shaped like a boot,
Puglia is the heel.
The weight of traditions in Puglia is very relevant and not only from the point of view of the many monumental traces of the past but also, for the food habits, of which the Apulians are rightly very proud and the foreigners very greedy. These are simple foods: from bread to oil, from wine to the famous orecchiette, to fish dishes, to fresh dairy products.
The value of the past is also found in traditional music such as pizzica.
FOR ITS IMMENSE CULTURE TOGETHER WITH THE BEAUTY OF THE INLAND LANDSCAPES, THE ATTRACTION OF THE SEA, THE ARTISTIC SPLENDORS, FOR THE SECOND TIME THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ASSIGNED THE “BEST TRAVEL DESTINATION IN THE WORLD” AWARD TO THE HEEL OF ITALY.
