I am an Italian living in NYC when not on a plane. I came to the US not knowing the language and with no income but firmly knowing that I wanted to become a photographer. I graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology and worked for a few years as an assistant and then lighting director with some of the best photographers and creatives: Deborah Turbeville, Mary Ellen Mark, Brigitte Lacombe, Fabian Baron, Neal Slavin etc... I feel at home with my camera no matter if in the Jungle in Colombia, a remote monastery in the Republic of Georgia, with a model in Paris or in a NYC studio. The contact with people and places brings me great joy and I love to share the visuals of that joy
