About

I’m a Director of Photography and Cinematographer based in Italy(18 years of experience) with extensive experience in commercial, corporate, documentary and narrative productions.

I work across a wide range of visual projects, with a strong focus on cinematic storytelling, naturalistic lighting and carefully crafted images. I’m comfortable working in both controlled studio environments and fast-paced production settings, adapting the visual approach to the needs of each project.

I own and operate a professional range of cinema equipment, including an ARRI Alexa Mini, as well as a selection of professional lenses, lighting and camera accessories. Having my own equipment allows me to offer flexible, efficient and production-ready solutions for different types of shoots.

I’m available for projects in Italy and internationally, and I’m always interested in collaborating with directors, producers, agencies and creative teams looking for a reliable cinematographer with a strong visual approach and professional workflow.
