As a humanist photographer and trilingual traveler, I hold a deep conviction: every human being radiates a unique beauty that deserves to be celebrated with respect, authenticity, and sensitivity.
MY JOURNEY TOWARDS HUMANISM AND "VITA LENTA"
As a trilingual humanist photographer, I have a deep conviction: every human being radiates a unique light that deserves to be celebrated with respect, authenticity, and sensitivity.
My Mission? To reveal this hidden beauty, honor this uniqueness, and immortalize this natural grace.
Awakening in Italy (2021) It was during a trip to Italy that I discovered my true calling: to reveal the humanity behind every face. Authentic encounters, spontaneous smiles, sincere glances... I realized that my mission was to capture the soul, not just the appearance.
Commitment to fighting discrimination (2022) My groundbreaking exhibition, combining photography and sound, created in partnership with the U.S. Embassy and the University of Aix-Marseille to combat racism, confirmed my path: to use images to celebrate our common humanity and build visual bridges between cultures.
"VITA LENTA" - The solidarity trigger (2024-2025) It all started during the European Solidarity Corps in Italy. My photo exhibition “VITA LENTA - Il quotidiano dei volontari” (Slow Life - The Daily Life of Volunteers), presented at Villa Ficana as part of the Atterrati! Call for Art project, was my humanist revelation.
By documenting the hidden beauty of the daily actions of European volunteers driven by the values of solidarity, tolerance, and human commitment, I discovered my true calling: to capture the authenticity of the present moment, reveal the extraordinary in everyday life, and honor the dignity of each moment lived.
This immersion in a community guided by mutual aid taught me that the greatest beauty lies in the simplicity of authentic human connections.
Today: A benevolent view of the world Trilingual (French, English, Italian), shaped by my travels and my commitments, I now take an inclusive and respectful view of every human being I photograph. My lens becomes a tool for reconciliation with oneself and celebration of our diversity.

THE PILLARS OF THE "VITA LENTA" APPROACH

Radical and benevolent authenticity
I never photograph what you are not. My images reveal your true personality, your sincere emotions, your natural beauty without filters or artifice. Authenticity is the only “retouching” I do.
Deep respect for the individual
Each session becomes a safe space where you can be yourself without judgment. Your emotional comfort and well-being come before technical performance.
Philosophy of suspended time
Inspired by VITA LENTA, I favor creative slowness. No rush, no stress. We take the time your authenticity needs to express itself.
Timeless artistic sensibility
Specializing in the magic of the golden hour and passionate about analog photography, I enhance your moments with a soft, natural aesthetic that transcends time.
Genuine human connection
Before being a photographer, I am passionate about authentic human encounters. This sincere connection gives soul and life to each image.
MY "VITA LENTA" PROMISE
Your photos will truly resemble you.
In 20 years, when you look at your photos, you won't see a retouched image or an artificial pose. You will relive that exact moment when your smile was pure, when your eyes sparkled with genuine joy, when your love shone naturally.
You will recognize yourself. You will love yourself. You will remember.
That is the magic of the humanistic "VITA LENTA" approach.
