About

I’m a freelance photographer based in Piedmont, Italy, with a focus on people, portraits, and the stories that surround them.

After nearly two decades in accounting and finance, I made a deliberate choice to follow what I’d always loved: capturing life through a lens. I shoot for stock agencies and co-create travel and lifestyle content for an English-language YouTube channel documenting life in Italy. I’m actively stepping into commercial photography — available for businesses in Piedmont who need professional visuals: salons, real estate, local brands. My most personal vision is a long-term portrait project dedicated to older generations — capturing faces, personalities, and life stories before they fade.
