I’ve been passionate about photography and filmmaking for several years, drawn to the power of visuals to tell compelling, real-world stories. With an academic background in physics and biology, I was especially interested in how scientific ideas could be translated into engaging narratives.

I started my professional journey as an assistant producer at a TV production company in Milan, where I worked for two years on a range of productions. Wanting to bring science and storytelling together, I pursued a Master’s in Wildlife Documentary Production at Salford University: an experience that deepened my understanding of both storytelling craft and technical filmmaking.

While my roots lie in science and the natural world, my work has since evolved to focus more on documentary and sports-style filmmaking. Whether capturing dynamic athletic moments or exploring real-life human stories, I bring a cinematic, authentic approach to everything I shoot.

Now working as a freelance filmmaker, I’m driven by the same curiosity and creative energy that sparked my interest in visual storytelling to begin with: just with a broader, more diverse canvas.
