AUTHOR
I was born in Udine, North East of Italy, between Trieste and Venice. At school I was good and I liked all the subjects, probably because I was and I'm still curious about how the world works and human interactions. I've studied electronics. Few years after some job experiences I didn’t really enjoy, I moved to London to enhance my live experience.
Always fascinated in arts and literature I started to be interested in photography and took some courses. The most interesting and formative one was History of Photography. I bought some books about the major photographers and did extensive research on the internet saving my fav pics and styles on Pinterest. Since the beginning I started to photograph people in the studio.
My journey had a twist when I started to collaborate with dancers. Some are established professionals and work for dance companies, some others are still really young and at the time of the shooting were students. Even if I photograph them dancing I still try to take a kind of portrait because every dancer is a person and every person is physically and caratterly different, so prefers some kind of dance rather than another.
