Who am I?

Photographer, researcher and lecturer. Some people call me artist.
I’m committed to exploring and documenting diverse human experiences and environments through an immersive and empathetic approach. My work has been awarded, exhibited and published internationally, often as part of broader, long-term projects (list below).

With a background in Visual Arts and Cultural Anthropology, I co-founded Collettivo Fotosocial and have been teaching photography with Irfoss since 2010. From 2013 to 2017, together with Igor Marchesan, I worked on Inside Outside Under Bucharest, an in-depth exploration and narrative about life on the margins. During the 2020 lockdown, I roamed Venice with locals, shifting my focus to intimate human stories during an unprecedented time. Currently based in Sicily, I’m working on a project that combines my personal roots with a search for sustainable and alternative ways of living. With curiosity about the world and others, I’m looking forward to discovering who I am.
