I’m a photographer. For years I’ve been publishing my works on the most important Italian and European male magazines. Rolling Stone, GQ, Playboy, Icon, Moto Heroes, Riders.

Being very sensitive to social issues, he has been involved with humanitarian agencies, documenting for them their projects in many parts of the world, from Asia to Africa and Central America. He started in 2001 with the Department of the Italian Civil Protection, photographing the health conditions among refugees of the conflict in Kosovo. For the European Commission Humanitarian Office he carried out a photo reportage on its projects related to health education and agricultural initiatives in Algeria. He also covered for an Italian no profit organisation their activity of reconstruction after one year from the Tsunami in Sri Lanka. For the Italian Non Governmental Organizations Cestas and Ruvuma, he also covered stories highlighting the issues of Aids in Ethiopia and Tanzania. The output...
