Who I am

With nearly a decade of experience in video production, I am a passionate director of photography and videomaker. Operating throughout Italy, primarily between Rome and Milan, I collaborate with creative talents to craft striking and original imagery. Since beginning my journey in 2016, I have worked on various projects spanning multiple genres, each enriching my artistic perspective. My ambition is to explore new creative horizons and connect with individuals to embark on new projects together.

Commercial Video

Making commercial video images is a challenge that I really enjoy: short, dynamic and direct to the point, they convey the message in a few seconds with effective and high-impact storytelling.
I love combining creativity and rhythm to create content that captures attention and stays in the memory, maximizing the brand.

Documentary Film

Filming documentaries is one of the things I love most. It allows me to discover and delve into unique stories, giving a voice to people and realities that are often overlooked. Each project is a journey that lets me step into lives different from my own, even if just for a moment. It’s an experience that enriches me both personally and professionally, driving me to tell the world’s stories with authenticity and sensitivity.

Music Video

Creating music videos is one of my greatest passions as. avideomaker. It’s a dynamic way to translate emotions and stories into striking visuals, amplifying the artist’s voice and vision. In many of these music videos, I also worked as a screenwriter, director, cinematographer, camera operator, editor, and colorist.

Social Media Content

Creating content for social media is an opportunity to turn ideas into visual experiences that capture attention and engage the audience. Each project combines storytelling, branding, and design to communicate the brand’s message effectively and authentically. Working in such a dynamic environment pushes me to experiment with new trends, formats, and tools, keeping the content fresh and innovative. My goal is to create campaigns that truly connect with the audience, building trust and leaving a lasting impression.

What I Do

I began my journey in the world of visual storytelling by studying photography at the Istituto Superiore di Fotografia in Rome, followed by a master’s program in video shooting techniques. My career started as a photographer for renowned Italian magazines, but it quickly evolved as I transitioned into filmmaking and later became a director of photography. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of producing documentaries for prominent institutions such as the Ministry of Culture, the European Commission, and the National Roman Museum. I’ve also worked on numerous commercial spots, music videos, and short films. One of my proudest achievements was directing, shooting, and editing the music video "Arizona" by Jaqueline, which won the award for Best Independent Italian Music Video in 2020. In 2022, I served as the director of photography for the Best Short Film at the AS Film Festival. Currently, I’m working on "In Seconda Linea", a documentary that tells the stories of Ukrainian refugee women. What drives me is the opportunity to combine impactful visual storytelling with a deep sensitivity to social issues. I strive to create authentic, meaningful narratives that resonate with audiences, and this approach has positioned me as a versatile and innovative voice in the independent Italian film scene.
