I’m a professional photographer based in Ancona, Central Italy, with a long-standing experience as a freelance press photographer.
Throughout my long career I’ve been covering different stories all over the world, confronting myself with a wide range of situations and subjects, and conveying with my photos the emotions I experienced.
Among my award winning works I like to name “Walking in Hong Kong”, shot in the most western-looking among Asian cities; “Kingston n°9067” a documentary shooting on a Russian cargo ship; my series of photos of last hippies and homeless people of the legendary Ashbury Street, in San Francisco (CA); “Altomare”, a photography book of photos shot on deep-sea fishing boats; my photography book of shots witnessing social and political changes in Sarajevo 20 years after the Bosnian war (1992 – 1995).
I received an Honorable Mention at the Paris Photography Prize in 2009.
My style is based on my ability to look at things in a different way well before I shoot. More than relying on a method, my style comes out of my world view, shaped and inspired by many works of art, especially by Caravaggio.
