I am often asked if my family name is original or a pseudonym. I can guarantee that it is 100% genuine due to my Italian ancestors.
As a child of the 80s, I was born in Germany, Mettmann (North-Rhine-Westphalia). Back in my childhood, no camera was safe from me and my curiosity of what can be done with it.
I developed my skills and fascination later in the Albrecht Dürer School for art & design photography.
Today I live in the South West of Germany, in the beautiful area of the BLACK FOREST Nationalpark. It is a fantastic region, with many spots for mystic and moody sceneries. I’m based in the old historiacl city Gengenbach, but travel for my photo journeys around the globe.
My goal is to show the beauty of the diversity from different cultures.
My encounter with the natives and their often very exciting traditions very often attracts me in several mystical ways.
I find my favorite motives and themes in Asian countries, but i’m particularly fascinated by Myanmar. Especially impressive where my contacts to the burmesian people, the buddhist monks and the happy and cheerful children who often live under very poor circumstances.
