    paper Personal / Artistic Portfolio

    This portfolio presents a selection of personal work spanning reportage, research-based projects, and architectural reportage. The images explore the relationship between space, everyday life, and visual narrative, with a focus on quiet observation, structure, and atmosphere. Working across different contexts, I approach photography as a tool for investigation rather than documentation, privileging restraint, coherence, and a slow, attentive gaze. The projects included reflect an ongoing interest in cities, architecture, and lived environments, combining editorial sensibility with a personal, research-oriented practice.

    paper Interior design Portfolio

    This portfolio showcases my work in interior and architectural photography, highlighting spaces with a focus on composition, light, and materiality. It includes a selection of projects completed at Thomas Pagani Studio, where I worked as a digital assistant and lighting assistant, handling both on-set photography and post-production. The images emphasize spatial balance, texture, and color, capturing interiors in a way that is both aesthetically refined and technically precise. This collection reflects my ability to translate design concepts into compelling visual narratives suitable for editorial, commercial, and digital media.
