Giacomo was handsome and had an athletic figure. I had the pleasure to take some portraits of him in the studio and also outdoors.

Gaia [Milano, 2015]
Gaia was young and fearless. For me it was a pleasure and an inspiration to take some portraits of her near an abandoned train depot in Milan. I love this photo shoot marked by some gloomy and dark traits!
Nathan [Borgo Val di Taro, 2015]
Nathan is the son of friends, he was only 60 days old when these picture were taken. He was incredibly expressive and was making grimaces as a real, little actor, showing off a determined character! I am not exactly a “newborn babies person type” and have very small experience of them but I was positively impressed by the fact that this small person already showed his own personality. I have rarely seen this kind of expression, that led me to imagine a curios and strong attitude more like an adult!
Lisa & Margherita [Marore, 2015]
“As I grew up, one of my strongest allies has been my sister” – Patti Smith
I have known Lisa and Margherita since they were little girls and it was a joy for me to take some portraits of them, back in March 2015. For being two sisters, they are different, not only in terms of age difference but also in their characters, but they do have points in common. They both love fashion and know what they want. I enjoyed spending one hour with them and their mum Mara!
Rotten [Parma, 2015]
His straight but also crooked whisker and his white tipped were his hallmarks. His name was Rotten and he was the cats of friends of mine. In the living room he felt like a king, even though he did not disdain sleeping with his owners. He was a curious, chubby pal, quite jealous of his masters’ affection. He was gorgeous and cuddly and this is how he is remembered.
Flavia [Parma, 2015]
Flavia was young but ahead of her age. I took a series of portraits of her in the studio, where she immediately felt at ease. I believe that from these shots she is able to thrill thanks to her artistic side emerges, her theatricality, her expressive force but also with her inner strength. Enjoy thee beautiful memories!
Portraits by Corrado Sacchi [Firenze, 2015]
This shooting was my first boudoir, in which I was the model! And it was an honour for me to pose for Corrado Sacchi, a photographer and an artist who has a deep knowledge in the field of the Arts, has been in love photography since a young age and has the ability not to make the nude vulgar.
We met in his studio and I was nervous at first but we managed to communicate and the photo session turned out to be a pleasant entertainment that lasted about a couple of hours. Thank you, Corrado, I love the beauty and the taste that are part of your artistic vision!
Antonella [Firenze, 2015]
“Usually posing in front of the camera makes me shy, but while I was shooting with Elena, I was feeling very comfortable. We hadn’t met each other before but we immediately established a good connection”- Antonella
I remember two random facts about the afternoon of February 2015. I was in Florence to visit a friend : she had introduced me to her room mates, one of them being Antonella, and I had the camera with me. Chatting with Antonella, I asked if she would fancy a shoot and she agreed. I had no great expectations nor big plans in my mind, I just wanted to have some fun. The result was good : Antonella revealed she had acting skills, but was still spontaneous, and there was a relaxed, “good vibes feeling” during this session. Enjoy this memory!
Firenze [2015]
I went to Florence for a couple of days, hosted by friends. This place is magnificent and so alive thanks to its glorious past that, at times, I had the feeling I was on a postcard!
Olga & Viktoria [Parma, 2015]
This was my the shooting, so far, where I photographed both mother & daughter in what seems to be 2 different sessions (adults + kids portraiture) ! The idea was to take some portraits of Olga but, since Vittoria joined us fully dressed, it was impossible not to give in to her convincing smile! Olga is a natural, elegant model (I loved her outfits!) but Vittoria also enjoyed being the centre of attention, so it was a double pleasure for me spending a couple of hours with them. We gathered in the city centre, then, we headed to the Parco Ducale!
Martina [Parma, 2015]
Of Martina I remember her laugh and her flawless skin plus, she looked great in that red dress!
Yumi [Parma, 2015]
Of this Japanese model I remember that she exuded a discreet, noble charm. There was also some forcefulness in her gaze.
Silvia & the bump [Parma, 2015]
These photos were taken exactly 2 weeks before Matilde was born. And Silvia was still very active and in superb shape! Enjoy these loving memories!

Gentleman’s portraits [Parma, 2015]
I have never been very strong with gemoetries but I must admit that, on this occasion, the Pilotta’s courtyard helped me to put the subject “in place”!
Rita on her wedding day [Parma, 2015]
Rita is one of my favorite persons and I had the honor to take some quick shots of her on her civil ceremony back on 14/02/2015. I was disguised as an unofficial photographer, and I was even a guest!
