Creative direction

I started my career in 2007 as graphic designer. 2 years later I began working as video editor, and soon discovered my passion for photography and filmmaking.

After two years as apprentice editor, I decided to start working as freelance and three years later I founded “Sette Secondi Circa”, a company that created digital visual contents. I worked here as project manager.

I therefore began my experience in the field of reportage, that set the basis for my stylistic cypher.

I worked as photographer during two editions of the Venice International Film Festival for Disaronno, at that time one of the sponsors of the film exhibition. Some of my portraits were featured on one of the most read women’s lifestyle magazine, “F” – Willem Dafoe, Toni Servillo, Valerio Mastandrea, Kim Ki-Duk and many others.

I had the opportunity to show one of my reportages to Gianni Berengo Gardin that appreciated it and gave me the chance to improve myself as a photographer.

In the following years I traveled, photographed and filmed in Italy, Iran, South Korea, Hong Kong and Japan. In Japan I shot the feature film "Progetto Hebi", as well as a series of commercial contents.

In 2014, I held the workshop "Reporting and video techniques" during the Social Media Week in Milan, for the launch of the new Nokia Lumia 1020.

I still keep flanking photography with filmmaking, creating commercial and personal content, thanks to which I was awarded during: Cortosplash Special Mention Experimental 2017, Caton Film Festival Best Experimental Short 2017, 42th Laceno D'Oro Film Festival Best short 2016, COFFI Best short 2011.

I also took part in festivals all over the world, including: Rhode Island International Film Festival, Palm Springs Short Film Festival, FUSE Stockholm, Salón Internacional de la Luz (Colombia), Videohouse II (México), XIV International Exhibition of Video Signature Sightings 2016 (Italy) and many others.

In 2016 I took part in the workshop “Sguardi sul reale" with Michelangelo Frammartino, Pietro Marcello and Paolo Benzi.

From 2017 to 2022 I was working for Intesa Sanpaolo as video director; I acquired a strong knowledge in the digital learning field.

I am currently working as video director.
