The first picture he ever took framed Notre-Dame de Paris when he was around 12 years old. Ever since this family trip to the French capital, he wished to hold a camera in his hands everyday.
 

That moment arrived a few years later, when he started studying in the University of Lecce, Italy. Fascinated by the baroque style of that city, he started capturing its artifacts and inhabitants' gazes.

Being granted some scholarships, he then moved to Birmingham and Brighton, UK, before living for a while in Copenhagen, Denmark. Eventually he ended up in Sweden, attending a Master of Science in Communication, whilst working as a Digital Ambassador for the Swedish Institute.

A new chapter started in early 2018, when he took the decision to move to Berlin, while keeping his eyes attentive to the world around him.

Instants of human life, architecture, social and political issues are among his main targets, as a photographer and storyteller.
