I’m not sure which came first, being nosey or having an interest in “street photography”.
I was born in Pesaro in Italy in 1974. I start take photographs when I was a child and my parents bought me an automatic film camera. I’m a self-taught photographer but during years I had the opportunity to join the masterclass of important photographer like Alex Webb, Jonas Bendiksen and Maciej Dakowicz.I really don’t know what influence me and my photographs. I simply look at people and sometimes people give me a reason to take a picture.

The Summer Has Come
The beach is a great equalizer—no matter one’s way of life, everyone sheds their clothing (and social conventions) as soon as they step onto the sand. Here, varied moments of enjoyment from seasides around the world.
Summer is a season when people let go of both their clothing and their social conventions. The warm weather and long nights encourage everyone to express their connection with nature and their lightness of being.
The beach is also a sort of equalizer, as everyone is enjoying the same scenery and everyone is almost naked. Distinctions of class and experience disappear. I took these pictures over the last 10 years in locations around the world: the cover image was shot in 2007 in my hometown of Pesaro, Italy. Every time I go to the beach there, I relive the memories of my childhood, building sand castles and playing with my parents and friends. Summer always meant the end of school, of homework, of responsibility.
