Milanese,
Living and working in Palma de Mallorca, I have a Master degree in Public Relations at IULM university of Milan, with a specialization on Products Marketing, new Startups and Advertising. After many years of experience in managing positions for companies around the world, I decided to follow one of my biggest passions, photography! Since I was 8 I was always roaming around with a flaming new Olympus Xa (it was the year 1982!).
During all these years photography has been my biggest hobby; I moved to the reflex World in 1991 with a Nikon Af601, still with the magic of the dark chamber and later on with the fantastic world of Digital reflex and postproduction.
Though not exactly related to the photographer profession, my university path in Communication allowed me to know the history of photography, the amazing work of some of the biggest photographers, and the evolution of photography itself. I like to think that photography is a very strong vehicle of mass Visual Communication, with an artistic declination to be read in what the artist is willing to show.
My photographic philosophy, take inspiration from one of the biggest photographers of the past, Henry Cartier Bresson and one of his quotes:
“C’est mettre sur la même ligne de mire la tête, l’oeil et le coeur.”
“Taking pictures is putting on the same level mind, eyes and heart.”
The photographic formation I pursued is born at first from creating my own photographic culture. You cannot be a good photographer without having a deep photographic culture, you need sensibility in order to produce and evaluate good quality images, and you can acquire all this only through a deep study of those great photographers from past.
That’s why I am so passionate organizing photographic workshops related more to the theory and less to the shooting process. My aim is to try to make my students more prone and receptive to the images of the greatest phographers of the past.
For the same reason I’m used to participate several times a year to Workshops organized by important colleagues (Italians and foreign), to learn, to brainstorm together and try to find every time that little spark which makes my profession so amazing and unique.
I hope you have fun visiting my website and enjoy my photos I took around the world in the last few years.
I’m convinced that to take a good picture you don’t need the best equipment but the best training. Personally, I’ve always used Nikon and Leica to take all my images around the world, with satisfaction!.
I use a Nikon Z6II and a Nikon Z5 as second body with few prime lenses and zoom to shoot my works, and recently I purchased an amazing Leica Q after having used for few years a superb LeicaM typ240.
I’m now working on a very big project: soon I’m opening my very first Fine Art Gallery here in Palma. Limited editon prints of my best works as well as very selected works from other collegues will be hosted. The sea and the amazing nature, especially here in Mallorca, will be the main subject of the gallery.
I’m as well organizing Post production courses and, of course, Photography workshops for adults and youngers.
Enjoy!
