I am a biologist and passionate photographer. I was born and raised in Italy, studied biology in Germany and Brazil, and lived many years in Amazonia for my PhD studies before moving to the French Riviera in 2005. I am a fervent and creative photographer and always carry my camera with me since the day my father gave me a Minolta at the age of 9. I started with travel, landscape and nature photography. In 2016 I discovered street photography and started to developed my new passion. With my photos, I try to capture the dynamics and ephemeral moments of everyday life. I created the "Promenade Moments" series in 2017, which won prizes, is published in a book by Maison Editrice Baie des Anges and tours through Europe as a solo exhibition. I am the secretary of the Antibes Photo Club, give talks and lead photography workshops in several languages. My second photography book, street photography in black and white “Sunday Morning in Nice” comes out in November 2019.
