I am a documentary photographer and my work focuses on subcultures, identity and human ecosystems.
Born and raised in the southeastern suburbs of Rome, Italy, I am currently based in the Mojave Desert – a land full of warm light and rich colors, which are two very important characteristics of my work.
Through portraiture and landscape photography, I investigate the desert community where I live.
I love traveling all around the world while on assignment, but for my personal work I prefer to stay close to home.
My work has been published in different international outlets such as:
The Washington Post, Bloomberg Businessweek, Bloomberg News, El País, D La Repubblica, Internazionale, BuzzFeed News, Robb Report.
