My self

I’m a photographer and art director, born in Naples and based in Milan. I work on editorials, campaigns and lookbooks for brands and magazines, combining a narrative aesthetic with a strong focus on set direction. My background lies in reportage photography and film, elements that still shape the way I portray bodies, garments and spaces.
Over the years, I have shot campaigns, lookbooks and visual content for brands such as Intesa Sanpaolo, DODO Pomellato, TIM, Segafredo Zanetti, Museum, Invicta, Roccobarocco and many others. My editorials have been published in Wallpaper, Vogue Italia, Vogue Korea, Vogue Living, SportWeek, XL Repubblica, Plaza Uomo, Men’s Health USA, and more.
I collaborate with stylists, make‑up artists, model agencies and creative studios to build images conceived from the outset for magazines, advertising and digital content. I usually work closely with creative directors, stylists and producers, from the first concept and casting through to location scouting and final delivery, creating cohesive visual narratives for both print and digital use
