I try tell the stories of the people I photograph, how we live today and the land where I live. My family and the places where I grew up are constant subjects I always return to. The ties and knots that keep us together and divide us. With a fascination of the territory where I live, in Tuscany, so over photographed and in so many cliché images, I try to constantly shift to unobvious subjects creating visual poems by working images together whether in triptychs, series or multi-imaging to tell a fuller story, the need to create an ‘image that thinks’ being foremost in my intent.
