From my early years with a camera in my hand, I realized that what attracted me was not simply “taking beautiful pictures,” but observing. Really looking. Capturing those details that often escape us, those nuances that tell us more than meets the eye. Guardare davvero. Cogliere quei dettagli che spesso sfuggono, quelle sfumature che raccontano più di quanto sembri.

It wasn't a conscious or strategic choice: it's simply my natural way of approaching things. This spirit of observation, combined with curiosity – a quality that is slowly disappearing in the world – for what lies behind a gesture, an expression, or an environment, has led me to differentiate myself almost without realizing it.

Over time, I realized that this attention could be a real creative vein. It allows me to see beyond the surface, to imagine stories where others see only a pose or a location.

For me every shot must have a meaning, a message, a narrative thread that brings it to life. Without this component, photography risks becoming an aesthetic exercise, a tourist postcard: pleasant, but empty.

My nature, however, is to create images that speak, that suggest, that leave something behind for those who look at them. Not to amaze, but to share a way of seeing the world that is more attentive, more sensitive, even darker if necessary, but more true.

Every shoot always stems from a specific motivation: either the desire to preserve a memory, or the need to create and communicate something that goes beyond the image itself.

In both cases, the shot is never random: it is an intentional act, carefully constructed, designed to leave a mark. For me, photography means giving meaning, transforming a moment or a concept into something that can speak even afterwards.
