BIO & PRESS

Lifestyle Photographer & Art Director | Los Angeles

I’m a lifestyle and commercial photographer and art director based in Los Angeles. For more than 20 years, I have created portraits, lifestyle campaigns, and documentary work for major brands including Google AI, Dreamworks Animation, Albertsons, and Gaylord Hotels. My editorial work has appeared in Forbes, Elle, Nature Magazine, SAG-AFTRA, and Emmy Magazine.

Originally from Italy, I moved to the United States in 2002 - first San Francisco, then Los Angeles.

The multicultural energy of California, combined with the European visual sensibility I grew up with, shaped the way I approach photography: looking for authentic moments, real expressions, and the human story behind every frame.

What drives this work is connection: that moment when someone in front of the camera stops performing and simply becomes themselves. Whether I am photographing or directing, I look for the unguarded moment, the real person, the story that reveals itself through color and light.

I see life in color, and am always drawn to people with compelling and interesting stories. Photography and video are the way I discover them, listen, and bring those stories to light.
