About The Artist

Born in Rome, I live and work between Rome and Buenos Aires. I shoot as an artist and think as a photographer. That is why I call "artistic reportage" my photographic genre. Projects mainly stem from the understanding of what and how I want to narrate through my shots: a search of meanings and emotions of non-straightforward realities. I have been a photographer since 1986, I went to Studio 10b (2008) to have a deeper knowledge of photo retouching; two stages with David Harvey (TPW, 2005-06), of Street Life, which, incidentally, led to my going from analog to digital; the Graffiti Association and Graffiti Press (1998-99), the first time to attend the school of Photo-Journalism and then collaborate with the Agency; Antonio Pluchino's Videoambiente (since 1999 to date) to have a deeper knowledge of cinema and cinematography, Lusher's colour theory, structural analysis of cinematographic and iconographic language; Stefano Carofei's Pentaprisma, (1990) to attend its photograophy course; Roberta Filippi (1990) to attend the water colour course, which led to my passing from b/w to colour; Stefano Gioia's Photomania (1986) for b/w printing; Giancarlo Berluti, for medium-format theory and practice. In addition to various publications, I have explained, many times, both personal and collective, in Italy in Rome, Venice, Orbetello, Lucca, Genoa, Turin, Modena, Florence, Limestone, Bomarzo, Orte, Capalbio; outside Italy in London, New York, Buenos Aires, Santa Fe 'and Rosario (Argentina), Tehran, Havana, Barcelona with the following projects "Shinbergs'10 Touchable|As|Untouchable", "Lapides", "The other faces of the Skin", "MoonShining", "Living the Apple," "Hot Firebergs'08 |as|ice", "Fireberg the beginning", "Patishere", "Americana Breakfast table set", "Music-sync-moving", "Cuba By Heart", "The 10 Commandments".
