I am a professional photographer

Photography has been a passion of mine since I was very young. I was just eleven years old when I first walked into a dark room with my father, where I put my hands into the trays of chemicals for development, and I noticed in disbelief the image that gradually formed on the white surface of the paper. Today, after so many years and after millions of photographs, I am here to talk about photography. I am a person who was able to turn a passion into a profession. At the age of 12, after being my father's assistant many times and shooting with my first Hasselblad, I did my first wedding shoot. Being incredulous in my work, I managed to achieve a good result.

Since then I have always taken photos and was praised by everyone who looked at my photos.

After graduating from high school, I decided to turn my passion into a profession. I obtained a diploma as a photographer at the school of I. P. I.A. Casanova of Naples.

I was not enough for me, I wanted more, so I decided to apply to the School of Photography and Cinema, which was in Rome. At the INSTITUTE OF CINEMA AND TELEVISION ROBERTO ROSSELLINI I obtained a diploma STILL PHOTOGRAPHER AND PHOTOJOURNALIST. It took me only one more year to obtain the STATE DIPLOMA IN THE FIELD OF FILM AND TELEVISION, which was obtained in 1996 with the highest number of votes.

Later I had the opportunity to teach photography to children with disabilities in a project called "ARK" at the I. P.S. I. Ponticelli Institute in Naples, which gave me a lot of satisfaction both professionally and personally. At the same time I began to work in television as a cameraman and director, as a cameraman and director.

After many years of working as a teacher and after so many television shows and many other jobs, now also in collaboration with my father, in the world of photography, I have only been living in Switzerland for 8 years and doing my work as a photographer.

What do I like to photograph? Everything, but mainly I focus on wedding photography. My approach in photography is characterized by spontaneity, I don't take many pictures, but only as many as are needed. I usually move around the scene and look for the best way to express what is happening, I notice the details and try to capture the most exciting and unrepeatable moments. .

I also have many competitions and exhibitions around the world. The most prestigious personal achievement was SEMI-FINALIST TO MASTER HASSELBLAD in 2012.
