Biography
I am an Italian photographer and art director based in Santa Monica, California.
I like to call myself a “photography comedian” because I tend to capture the tragicomic side
of the situation I find myself in or to add a touch of irony or a joke to all the images I produce
in both personal and commercial settings.
My work has been published by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Booooooom, Lenscratch, La Repubblica.
