I was born and raised in Tuscany where I also trained and practised as an architect. I worked in architecture, interior and lighting design for more than 18 years and founded an award-winning architectural studio in Arezzo.

It was during my time in Italy that I fell in love with photography and since my move to London in 2008, I have started to turn my passion into reality.

I am a Licentiate Photographer of the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) and a former Chartered Architect of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

My background as an architect will always remain at the heart of my photography – it gives me a distinctive perspective, visible in my Habitat & Hospitality work, which encompasses home interiors, furniture, hotels, restaurants, theatres, offices, commercial spaces and other venues.

But the love of style and fashion is also in my blood, as it is evident in my Fashion & Beauty work for designers, editors and buyers.

My vision is to bring pictures to life by combining these passions. My Space & Style concept merges architecture and fashion to introduce a powerful sense of theatricality and an engaging narrative to my images.
