After attending Art school and a graphic design degree at European Design Institute in Milan, I began my professional graphic designer and art director. Music devourer, have collaborated for over a decade with a rock magazine, and passionate about auteur cinema, I approach photography quite late, in 2014 with a strong passion for urban landscape and architecture. In 2017 I attended the Master in Photography at the European Design Institute in Milan.
My photo essays - shot in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, the ghost districts of Inner Mongolia, Mainland China and Vietnam - investigate the relationship between cities and humans.
In 2016, I was in China for two artist residencies where I made extensive reports on the city of Wuhan, the development of the cities of Inner Mongolia and the slow disappearance of some urban villages in Shenzhen and Shanghai.
With Steve Bisson’s Urbanautica Institute, I published a book entitled The Post-War Dream, a visual journey in black and white across the principal cities of Inner Mongolia. The project is also a comparison between contemporary China and the Second post-world War Italian urban landscape. It has be presented during the 2018 Paris Photo.
In the course of the years, I travelled across several Asian countries due to some magazine reportage and personal projects. I won several international photography prizes, such as Sony World Photography Awards and Lens Culture, to name a few.
My work has been published in numerous online and print publications including Domus, Life Framer, Vice, Fubiz, Divisare, Photography of China, Creative Boom, Camera Infinita, il Fotografo, Style Magazine and many others.
I’ve exhibited in solo and group shows in Milan, Catania, Naples, Paris, and New York.
