"Camogli postcard" Fine Art Print

I was born in Catania in 1967. I moved to Liguria for work in 2005, eventually “landing” in Rapallo, where I now live. My photographic journey began in 1997 as a self-taught photographer. Over time, I attended courses and advanced workshops to deepen my knowledge. Throughout these years devoted to photography, I have gained experience across various genres, with a particular interest in street photography, reportage, and conceptual photography with introspective references. In 2015, I became a member of ISP – Italian Street Photography. Thanks to various personal projects and collaborations with ISP, Street Hunters included me in its shortlist of the 20 most influential street photographers of 2016. In 2017, I took part in the 1st Edition of the Italian Photography Triennale – Contemporary Art Foundation, held in Venice in the magnificent setting of Palazzo Cà Zenobio. In 2022, I was admitted to the S.A.C.S. Archive (Sportello per l’Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia) of the Regional Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Palermo. In 2025, I was awarded the honor of Benemerito della Fotografia Italiana by the Italian Federation of Photographic Associations. I occasionally collaborate with Il Secolo XIX and other online newspapers and magazines. I am currently represented by the Saatchi Art Gallery (New York). Pippo Pappalardo, historian and critic from Catania, describes me as follows: “His way of photographing, apparently instinctive and immediate, is in fact a tool for exploring a space and a time of what he likes to define as the photographic soul. Through photography, he conducts a genuine psychological investigation on himself.”
