My profound love for nature has been a cornerstone of my life since the tender age of 8 or 9. I still
vividly recall sketching the intricate morphology of ants and other insects, a fascination that sparked a
deep curiosity about the natural world. Over the years, this love has evolved, guided by the same
unwavering determination and a growing desire to explore the richness of what I now appreciate as
biodiversity. Even now, in my thirties, that passion remains as steadfast as ever.
It was only natural for me to pursue academic studies in the scientific field, leading me to enroll in the
Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Calabria. Around the same time, in 2009, I discovered
another passion—photography. The desire to capture and preserve the essence of life around us
became a driving force, complementing my academic endeavors.
My journey in photography began as a self-taught pursuit, enriched by occasional workshops and,
later, formal training. Between November 2015 and January 2016, I participated in an intensive
professional training course in environmental and naturalistic photojournalism. This course, organized
by BLUOCEAN SRL in collaboration with the Calabria Region and sponsored by National Geographic
Italia, profoundly transformed my approach to photography.
As part of the program, I prepared a final reportage that served as the foundation for my qualification
as an Environmental and Naturalistic Photojournalist. This milestone not only refined my skills but also
opened the door to collaborations with renowned publications such as National Geographic Magazine
Italia, That’s Italia, Casa in Fiore, InNatura, and others, starting in December 2016.
Over the years, I have expanded my expertise and diversified my professional pursuits. T oday, I run a
company based in London, offering comprehensive photography and video services across the UK.
My work spans a broad spectrum, from freelance assignments for companies and magazines to
teaching photography in the field and organizing guided photographic tours.
Photography and nature are not just professions for me; they are lifelong passions that have shaped
who I am. My mission is to inspire others to see the beauty of the world through the lens, fostering a
deeper connection to the natural and human landscapes that surround us.
