Documentary - Humanitarian - Social - Anthropological
Freelance Documentary & Fine Art Photographer | Art Director & Graphic Designer – based in Italy.
Attended Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London) and Westminster University (Fundation Studies in Art and Design, London). Graduated in Graphic Design from Kingston University (London, UK). I spent the following 20 years switching between various forms of design and photography while working on different assignments/projects around the world. My work focuses mainly on social, anthropological and humanitarian issues.
My documentary work focuses mainly on social, anthropological and humanitarian issues. At the same time, I also remain very much involved in Fine Art Photography. I am particularly interested in the development of personal projects that give a real, current and, I hope, true vision of what is unfolding in front of us and around the world. My long term project “BEAUTY IN HELL: Beauty over Drama” focuses on finding and documenting the beauty (and not the drama) which, I strongly believe, is always present, even in some of the most difficult realities around the world.
In the last few years my work has received a number of international awards (PX3, Grand Prix de Paris – IPA, International Photography Award, LensCulture – Allard Prize for International Integrity and HIPA finalist among others) and was exhibited in various locations around the world (GHISLA Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Switzerland – Biennale dell’Arte, Venice – Palazzo Cusani, Milan – Espace Beaurepaire, Paris – Arles Photo Festival – Chiang Mai Documentary Arts Festival).
