I was born in Naples and I have been photographing for over 25 years.

My formation began in the darkroom — a physical and interior space where I learned that photography is not just technique, but a personal gaze, almost bodily. Over time, encounters with photographers such as Janet Knot, Jim Megargee, Antonin Kratochvil, Arno Minkkinen and Douglas Kirkland helped shape my path. I also had the privilege of photographing philosophers such as Emanuele Severino, Giulio Giorello and Aldo Masullo — encounters that not only enriched my way of seeing, but challenged its boundaries, opening my research toward a more radical dimension of being and looking.

I began by photographing the street, searching for the moment and the relationship. From there I arrived at portraiture, understood as a genuine encounter: a good portrait doesn’t take — it gives back.

My Milan years were fundamental. I collaborated with magazines, developed my visual language and taught art therapy — an experience that deeply broadened my understanding of the image.
My research then turned inward, giving rise to Prometeo — an ongoing project of self-portraits: a direct confrontation with myself, before turning back to look at the world.
