I was born in Siena in 1981, and photography has been my way of seeing the world since childhood, when my father placed an analog camera in my hands. From that moment, I was never in the pictures, I was the one making them, chasing angles, chasing stories. Travel entered my life through stamps. As a child, I would study those tiny windows into distant lands with a magnifying glass, imagining the lives behind them. When independence arrived, I turned imagination into movement, and movement into images. For eighteen years I worked in fashion as a designer and product manager, but eventually I chose a different path, one that allowed me to live simply, travel widely, and dedicate myself to photography. Today I work seasonally as receptionist in Tuscany, and winter becomes my time to journey further, to immerse myself in cultures and document them with honesty. My projects are ethnographic and documentary in spirit. I travel alone, without comfort, blending into daily life, seeking the unplanned and the unexpected. What matters to me is not perfection but truth: the exchange of emotions, the dignity of ordinary gestures, the pulse of reality. Photography is my language, my way of carrying these encounters beyond borders, unfiltered and alive.
