I’m an architect founder of a successful architectural company. Architecture and photography, they are somehow interlinked, they both are related to the idea of space, tridimensionality and people interacting with the environment. For me, learning photography was a natural and organic process. Compared to architecture in where the whole project’s genesis for conception to completion can take years, photography allowed me to vent my creativity in a shorter amount of time.
I have had several reportages published in Vice magazine, Causette Magazine. Norwegian Airlines Magazine L’oeil de la Photographie, Stern Magazine, Nat Geo Italia, Ddonna La Repubblica, Die Zeit, Lens Culture and Photovogue for Vogue Italia. I have done few advertainment campaign, among them, Vodafone picked one of my pictures from the “Italian summer” reportage for their summer advertisement campaign in Holland and Stella Artois beer.
About The Collection
BODY LANGUAGE
This project is a spin-off of the worldwide known Italian Summer project. While Italian Summer is an environmental description of how Italians enjoy holidays this is more focused on the naked bodies and how they “speak” in a hot and somehow extreme environment.I took these pictures in different places around Italy—like the island of Salina in Sicily, Salento in Puglia, and Forte dei Marmi in Tuscany. I looked at people of all ages and social stations hoping to find that one common thread of surreal irony.
IF THE STREETS COULD SPEAK
The sixties changed the relationship between the city and its inhabitants forever. From the ruins of Victorian austerity and the interminable years of war, arose a “swinging” time that revolutionised the inter-connection between people and their built environment. London “is” the people who live there. The eight million inhabitants constitute a melting pot of different social classes which for better or worse, cannot be found in other cities.
The city rejects no one, it welcomes all without barriers. Only in London may one take photos like these without anybody batting an eye lid, at worst they point to their eyes as though to say: “look deep into them”.
