About the Creator

London, UK
I started doing photography when I moved to New York in 1999 after a degree in English literature from the University of Bologna. The fast pace of the NY, its sharp light and its mix of cultures was an inexhaustible source of inspiration and I got easily drawn to photograph it daily. In 2015 I moved to London where I continued to develop ideas and film and recently I created an experimental project of images screen printed on plastic bin liners. Taking photos I look into life more deeply and I get lost in the process of observing and perceiving what is around me.
