The Individual, Limited Edition of (9) Photograph

I’m a multidisciplinary artist and documentary photographer, based between Italy and London. My journey into photography was anything but conventional. With a background in Economics and a career in the corporate world in Italy, my life took a turn when I stumbled upon an old 35mm Praktica camera on a London street. That moment marked the beginning of a transformation from the business world to the realm of art. I immersed myself in the study of photography, completing a certificate in Photographic Professional Practice at St Martin's College of Art, followed by a full-time course in analogue photography and darkroom printing. My early career in photography saw me working as a freelance press photographer, where I spent three years capturing the fleeting moments of celebrity culture as a paparazzo. But my true passion lies in documenting the deeper stories of human connection. Since 2013, I’ve been focusing on themes like sexuality, gender equality, love, abuse, prejudice, mental health, and illness—issues that challenge and transform us. My work is driven by a deep curiosity about people, and I often engage in conversations with strangers, either online or on the street, to uncover their stories. Photography, for me, is not just about the image—it’s a process of self-discovery and an opportunity to connect with others on a profound level. I see photography as a therapeutic medium, a live performance where both the artist and the subject are revealed in the moment of connection. The camera becomes an extension of my own vulnerability, and in that instant, the observer becomes the observed. It’s a space where art and life intertwine, and I am as much a part of the story as those I photograph. In 2018, I became part of Action Hybride. I’ve had the privilege of exhibiting my work in cities like London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Rome, Brindisi, and Taranto. Through my art, I explore what it means to be human, to be vulnerable, and to find truth in the stories we share.
