MY JOB

When all my dreams came true it was September 2009, at that period I opened my photographic studio with a person who still shares with me this project, Andrea Corsi, a person who represents for me many things, he’s not only a friend, he’s a brother , a colleague and a partner; the past few years have been quite incredible, they have been rich in many different things,some of them really wonderful but others really painful, I suffered the end of a love story, my father and brother’s death, these devastating events made me even more slanted to emotions and and they have

given to me the possibility to communicate with the inner parts of me and with others.
During this period I have also won lots of National and International prizes, my name has been included among the most important wedding photographers of the world, and I have dedicated all those prizes to my father… he didn’t believed I what I was doing, but at last he has accepted it, he never told me but he was proud of me.

Thanks Daddy.

Wedding

I didn’t know what it truly meant to capture moments during a wedding until I experienced it myself. My first wedding shoot was for a friend when I was just 18 years old. That day, I wasn’t only the photographer; I was also the chauffeur and the best man. It was a whirlwind experience, but one that sparked something in me. Later, by pure chance, I found myself in a wedding photography studio, and I thought, Why not? It felt like destiny. I’m a person who’s deeply in love with love itself—I believe feelings and emotions are humanity’s most precious gifts. Wedding photography gave me a way to immerse myself in those moments and document them forever. It was love at first sight. Feelings and emotions are at the heart of everything I do; they can be intense, sometimes dramatic or even theatrical, intangible and yet deeply real. That’s what I strive to capture in my photography. My style reflects this—sometimes it’s refined and elegant, other times it’s bold and explosive, depending on the story unfolding in front of me. I don’t see myself stepping away from this focus on emotions and love in my work; I feel completely in tune with these moments. To me, wedding photography isn’t just a job; it’s a way to capture the essence of what it means to be human, to love, and to celebrate life.

CREATIVITY

Creativity is a precious gift. At its heart, I believe curiosity is the essential ingredient that fuels creativity—the kind of curiosity that involves looking around, asking questions, and seeing the world with eyes wide open. Creativity is like a vast warehouse in your mind, filled with all the beautiful things you’ve seen, the things you’ve studied, the emotions you’ve felt, the joys and sorrows, everything your eyes have witnessed. This “warehouse” becomes a rich source of inspiration that shapes and colors the way you experience the world. Throughout my life, I have poured my creativity into everything I do—into the way I dress, into my work, and into the way I design a home. Creativity is a deep, insistent desire; it comes from within and is the need to express yourself. It’s not something that can be limited to just one area of life. For me, creativity is a necessity, something that constantly needs to be fed and nurtured. In a sense, creativity is a powerful, driving force that can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. It inspires us to see beyond the surface, to bring our unique perspective into everything we touch. Ultimately, creativity allows us to connect with others on a deeper level and leave our personal mark on the world.

My Photography

I think photography is just like a kaleidoscope and you can choose the color you like best among lots of them; since I was a child I’ve always been attracted by the perfection, the elegance and geometrical aspects of fashion pictures then I addressed myself to landscape photography and, at last, macro.
Photography was my alphabet I used it to communicate to the world, as I was a very shy this helped me a lot; I didn’t care too much about what the other photographers did, they had their own language while I had to find mine inside of me, I had to find a way to talk about my own world by means of pictures.

ABOUT ME

I’ve always been a happy child and I had many secret wishes maybe the biggest one was becoming a professional photographer.

When I was a child I often had a flip through magazines of photography books and I dreamed to take as beautiful pictures as those I looked there.

My Dreams

Dreams can only truly be called dreams if they feel almost out of reach, seemingly impossible to attain. Life often throws obstacles in our path that feel insurmountable, but with courage, cleverness, and determination, we can overcome even the unexpected challenges. Sometimes, dreams seem to drift away from us, fading into the distance. And yet, often they come back into view, once again within our grasp. It’s essential to keep yearning for our dreams, to hold onto the vision of what we wish for, even when it seems far away. Throughout a person’s life, there can be countless dreams. Some arise out of nowhere, while others disappear as quickly as they came. Sometimes, you realize that dreams, however big or small, demand hard work and persistence. My dreams began early, when I was just ten years old. Back then, I dreamed of becoming a park ranger—a dream I never fully realized. But, in a way, my life still reflects that passion. I constantly feel a need for nature; I love animals, forests, and plants. Although I never became a park ranger, I can live that dream in small ways, every day. Later, as I discovered photography, a new dream emerged: to become a professional photographer. This was a goal I worked hard to achieve, and in time, with dedication and effort, I managed to make it a reality. As I grew older, I began to understand that the most beautiful, profound dream of all was to find a deep and absolute love. Love is indeed a demanding dream, one that requires constant care, but for now, that love is in my life. I know I must protect it as my most precious treasure. Together with my partner, I hope to realize my ultimate dream: to live in a cabin, surrounded by nature in the mountains. This is the last dream I have yet to fulfill, and I hold it close, as something precious waiting to be brought to life.
