BUILDING SITE

From the very start, architecture has been woven into the fabric of my life, as I grew up in a family of developers. 

It was always around me, yet it took years of experience to truly understand why I chose to dedicate my photography to it because I was aware the reason went far beyond mere habit—it was something deeper.

This image, captured on a site in Canary Wharf, reveals in part my perception of architecture—not just as a static structure, but as a living event, designed and crafted by people, for people. Architecture is a language, a space that tells a story, where concepts and answers to human needs are materialized through deliberate choices.

My journey has been shaped by a unique blend of influences. While studying Comparative Cultures at university, I worked alongside architects and interior designers, managing properties and overseeing construction and renovation projects. This experience gave me insight into the weight of responsibility those involved in the design process carry. It also opened my eyes to architecture and interiors from a visual perspective, which led me to pursue photography more seriously.

I honed my craft at the European Institute of Design (IED) and later graduated from CFP Bauer in Milan, where I deepened my technical and conceptual understanding of the medium.

My approach is deliberate, reflective, and meticulous. I aim to deeply understand the essence of a design, examining materials and spatial usage through an intimate, introspective process. The result is a visual synthesis of both emotional and analytical responses to the space.

My work has been exhibited in Milan, Turin, and the London Festival of Architecture, and has been featured in publications like Architects Journal, RIBA Journal, Fotografia di Architettura, and Lezioni di Fotografia.

Now based in London, I undertake architectural, interior, and construction photography commissions across the UK and Europe.
