Portfolio

This portfolio gathers the work I return to most: the streets of Milan, the Navigli at dawn, Genoa and the Ligurian coast, portraits, and black and white. These are the same series you will find elsewhere on the site, presented here for readers and clients who prefer English. Food photography and real-estate work also live in their own galleries, if that is what you need. If a photograph feels right for a hotel, a magazine, a collaboration or a wall, you can license it, order a fine art print from the shop, or write to me about a commission.

The Navigli at Dawn

Most visitors know Milan’s canals in the evening. I photograph them at the other end of the day: still water, thin mist, a rower or a bicycle passing as the city wakes. This is the series I return to most.

Navigli

Milan Street Photography

Everyday life in Milan: the square in front of the Duomo, trams at dusk, people on their way somewhere. I look for small gestures, weather, and the way the city feels when you walk it slowly.

Milan Street

Genoa and the Ligurian Coast

Genoa is the other city I call home: the port, the alleys, Boccadasse, Nervi, the light on the water. Nearby, the villages of the eastern Ligurian coast — Bonassola among them — appear often in my work.

Genoa

Black and White

Black and white still fascinates me. Stripped of colour, a face, a street or a shoreline becomes a matter of light, tone and timing. This gallery brings together portraits, landscapes and street photographs.

Portraits

I like portraits that feel unforced: a person as they are, in a place that belongs to them. Some of this work comes from reportage and travel; some from sittings in Milan and Genoa.

Food

For some time I have also photographed food and beverage: dishes, kitchens, and the atmosphere of a table or a counter. These pictures are made for the places themselves, not only for the plate.
