Welcome to my journey through photography via my blog!
I am a freelance photographer specializing in intimate portraiture and family photography. My work is rooted in a quiet, observational approach, focusing on genuine human connection rather than performance or perfection.
With a background in portrait photography, I do my best in order to create images that feel honest and timeless. I prefer to work with natural light choosing a minimal direction, allowing space for people to be fully present, capturing relationships as they unfold rather than constructing them.
My portraits (whether of children, families, or individuals) are a quest for simplicity, softness, and emotional depth. I believe that photography can express presence and can become memory, and connection.
Based in Parma, Italy, I am happy to work with private clients who value authenticity over aesthetics alone, creating meaningful visual stories that resonate beyond the moment they are taken.

I am always open to new commissions. If I can be of any help, please get in touch!
