I was born in Naples and I have been photographing for over 25 years.

My formation began in the darkroom — a physical and interior space where I learned that photography is not just technique, but a personal gaze, almost bodily. Over time, encounters with photographers such as Janet Knot, Jim Megargee, Antonin Kratochvil, Arno Minkkinen and Douglas Kirkland helped shape my path. I also had the privilege of photographing philosophers such as Emanuele Severino, Giulio Giorello and Aldo Masullo — encounters that not only enriched my way of seeing, but challenged its boundaries, opening my research toward a more radical dimension of being and looking.

I began by photographing the street, searching for the moment and the relationship. From there I arrived at portraiture, understood as a genuine encounter: a good portrait doesn’t take — it gives back.

My Milan years were fundamental. I collaborated with magazines, developed my visual language and taught art therapy — an experience that deeply broadened my understanding of the image.
My research then turned inward, giving rise to Prometeo — an ongoing project of self-portraits: a direct confrontation with myself, before turning back to look at the world.

Alongside this I developed work on Pompeii, gathered in the publication Passaggio a Pompei, and research projects in Rome exploring nature, symbol and social reality, with particular attention to people living on the margins.
My work has been exhibited in institutional contexts in Italy and abroad. Three of my photographs are currently on show in Changzhou, China — Philosophical Egg and Lived in the main museum complex, and Blooming Peonies in its design section. One of my works is on permanent display at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.

In recent years I have extended my practice to video, continuing to explore the relationship between human beings and the natural world.

In every image I look for dialogue. A real point of encounter between the one who looks and the one who is looked at.
