About

I am an Italian photographer who grew up in the very center of Paris sharing a single room with my family. This small place which was supposed to be a temporary solution when we arrived in France became finally our official home.

​

In order to escape the smallness of this room located in Saint Denis Street I started to go outside very young, spending most of my time in the street. I grew up in this busy area near Les Halles observing closely the life and activity of the world of adults.

​

This daily routine led me naturally to photography around the age of 10 and then I got my very first camera which was an Instamatic Kodak. I can say honestly that I started my passion for photography being disappointed by every shot I made...

​

Then, at 16, as I was working, I bought an Olympus OM1 and I began making my own silver prints. That was a revelation for me.

 

Since that time, I have never stopped taking pictures in the streets.
