Italian photographer, developed his artistic skills in New York, where he lived for several years and where he began to express his creativity, with his very own personal style of photography, re-elaborating his images using innovative techniques. Following on from his experience in the USA, he discovered new horizons in Japan, with its colors and light, which conditioned a further transformation in his photographic art, closely tied to the magical instant developing of Polaroid film.

From 2003 to 2008 he held the position of Art Director at the "Orvieto Fotografia" International Festival. In 2010 he participated, as a speaker, at the "2nd FEP European Professional Photographers Congress" in Lyon. He collaborated, as a teacher, with public and private institutions and companies, including the University of Milan, the Rome IED, the MiMa of Verona. He also collaborated to several artistic projects with POLAROID, LEVI’S STRAUSS, L’OREAL, NOKIA, EPSON, GREY GROUP, YOUNG & RUBICAM, NIPPON TELEVISION, ZOOM MAGAZINE.

He was one of the first Italian artist to obtain the DIGIGRAPHIE® by EPSON certification. 

A selection of his work is included in the Polaroid Collection U.S.A., in the Brescia National Museum of Photography, in the Civic Gallery of Modena, in the CIFA – Italian Center of Author Photography, in the Lishui Museum of Photography, in the Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art and in other public and private, national and international collections.
