I’m an Italian photographer from Milan, where I was born and raised. My daytime job is creating pictures and I love it,
but nothing is more satisfying then taking a good photo on the street.
It is the perfect playground to learn how to look at the world, at its actors and their interactions;
it is also the right place to train yourself in reacting quickly and catching the decisive moment;
it is where you can improve yourself in sorting the caos out to pretend we are all living in one same big stage.
A lot of people think that “street” is a proper photographic category with its own rules and conventions but I always considered it as an aptitude,
a beahviour. In my opinion it doesn’t matter if you are shooting on vacation, during a commissioned job or simply taking random pictures of some friends: if you’re doing it with a street aptitude, then you’ll get a street photo.
I strongly believe in cooperativeness as a key factor to become a better photographer, by helping each other in improving.
For this reason, I founded the EyeGoBananas Collective on 2015 with a bunch of great Italian photographers and I also joined as art director the Street Photo Milano Festival project back in 2018.
I’m currently working on some personal projects that probably will never see the light, as always.

Born in Scotland but now desperately seeking la dolce vita in Milan. My pictures are a bittersweet blend of self-expression and social comment. In times like these, I don’t afford myself the luxury of being a neutral observer or windswept artist.
I’m spurred on by concerns about the erosion of singularity and de-humanisation; capitalism’s roadkill in the age of post-truth and big data. It sounds a little grandiose I know but it’s my way of killing time.
