I’m a landscape and wildlife photographer from Trentino–Alto Adige, Italy. Growing up surrounded by the Dolomites sparked my passion for the mountains, wild places, and the wildlife that inhabits them.
Since picking up a camera in 2019, I have explored some of the world’s most remarkable landscapes, including Iceland, Algeria, Indonesia, Egypt, Spain, South Africa, Patagonia, Slovenia, and Nepal. These journeys have shaped my photographic vision and allowed me to build a portfolio focused on pristine environments and landscapes with a strong visual identity.
My photographs are the result of countless hours spent immersed in nature, searching for meaningful compositions and waiting patiently for the perfect light. Through my work, I aim to convey the beauty, atmosphere, and authenticity of the natural world.
