Born in Basilicata in 1993, I am a photographer working with black and white film, following the example of the great photojournalists of the 20th century to best express my ideal of photography. Originally active in street photography, I have, in recent years, shifted my interest towards larger-scale reports in order to create deeper connections with the people and places I photograph.

The themes close to my heart, which are reflected in each of my works, are the human being, nature, and the connection that tightly binds them. I aim to depict reality honestly, without mystifying or judging, as it presents itself to my eyes.

I exhibited my first reportage "Sirino" in France at "Compagnie La Rumeur", in 2023 and in Italy at Terrarossa prod in 2022.
