I was born in 1969 in a village called Sainte-Croix in Switzerland.
My parents left Italy in the late 50's, my Mother worked in a factory manufacturing Super 8 "Bolex" cameras, and my Father in a chic restaurant where he frequented movie and music people.
At the age of 14, with a small group of friends, we spent our weekends making short films shot on Kodak Super 8 film.
Absolutely self-taught, we'd do our sets, our costumes, we held all the positions, it's been all very instructive !
In terms of studies, I made a brief foray into the School of Decorative Arts in Geneva, then I found jobs; in the Cinema and the Café-Théâtre, but this time as an actor.
About fifteen short films and a few feature films later, I dropped acting and after a long period of personal research, I invested in photographic equipment and I decided to tell my stories throughout photography.
I have a project close to my heart to do a photographic reporting essai that would constitute returning to Italy in the regions where my parents were born in search of testimonies relating to the need for migration.
I don't have a favorite photo subject, lived my life with passion.
I loved all my travels which taught me tolerance and humility.
I like driving and getting lost in the French countryside, but I also like the madness of the cities, photographing daily street scenes, capturing the light in the moment and by doing so trying giving some sort of sense of stage directing !
