My career has been shaped by a variety of influences, including the world of fashion, contemporary art and the cities I have been fortunate enough to explore. Since I was young I felt the desire to create, I spent a period as a sculptor and then, thanks to the work of the great artist David Hockney and in particular through his work as a photographer, I approached photography and this fascinating world full of history. Photography... Nikon, Leica, Rollei, Rolleiflex, Canon and Hasselblad.... legendary names! Just as legendary are the photographers who have made the history of photography: Steve McCurry, Sebastiao Salgado, the aforementioned David Hockney, Oliviero Toscani (and his irreverent, provocative and stimulating advertising campaigns), Jr, Stephen Shore, Robert Capa, Annie Leibovitz, David LaChapelle, Martin Parr, Richard Avedon, Robert Mapplethorpe, and many many more... what amazing photographers! What wonderful images that are fundamental and inspiring even today! My "photographic adventures" have taken me to many cities, for example New York, Los Angeles, Rome, Venice, Milan, San Francisco, Berlin, London, Paris and Barcelona etc etc. Each place inspired my creativity and pushed me to capture its essence through my lens. In the cities I discovered that fashion in brands such as Adidas, Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Gucci, Burberry, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Rolex, L'Oréal, Versace, Cartier, Maybelline, Hugo Boss, Puma and Lacoste, Nike, Versace, Supreme and many others, in addition to influencing art, have shaped metropolises. This knowledge has allowed me to merge the world of fashion with the art of photography, creating images that tell unique and engaging stories. My passion for metropolises, culture, fashion and contemporary art led me to know and admire artists such as Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Kaws, Banksy, Koons, Orlinski and many many others. I explored new forms of artistic expression and broadened my creative horizons. Then came street art, with talents like Space Invader, Onemizer, Obey, Olek, Os Gemeos, Blu, Shamsia Hassani, La Pointe, Sgarra, C215, JR, Swoon, Pantone, Denial and many others. These experiences allowed me to explore urban art and capture the energy of the streets in my photographs. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to explore the world through my photography and art. I hope that my images can inspire others and convey emotions that go beyond words.
