title
Matera, I Sassi
Italian by blood, Architect by training, Digital Designer by day, and a Photographer by heart. Visual storyteller, weaving narratives through people’s movements and emotions.
“I think architecture, design and photography share something in common: on top of the visual and creative components, they all relate to us in an unspoken, subliminal way. And that’s what I want to communicate to my audience through those two-dimensional still images after all.”
He lives and operate in New York.
His photographs of life in the city have gained great acclaim, especially a recent series taken during Winter Storm Jonas. The rich, deserted winter cityscapes capture an enchanting side of New York City often obscured in modern times, and offer another glimpse of what makes the the city such a unique place.
“I like to watch people and travel with my imaginations in their lives. My photos are tied to people and their movements and emotions, I’m interested on those little quirks that connect us as humans. It’s that sort of mundane daily things I want to document, and slowly it became a daily routine for me. It makes the world a little closer, especially in NYC.”

entry description
Captivated by the vast, dramatic cityscape of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site, I decided to hike to higher ground via a nearby hill to take in the city’s natural and architectural beauty. This is a panorama shot with my Fujifilm X-T2, paired with a 16-55mm, made of 3 stitched images.about the photographer
