Selected Work

Street.
Observation.
Chance.

When I'm not designing stuff, I walk and photograph. Street photography is where I train my eye for framing, timing, and the unexpected.

Recognised by Magnum photographers Martin Parr and Steve McCurry. Exhibited at the HistoryMiami Museum during Art Basel Miami, featured in Corriere della Sera Style Magazine. Co-author of 10 Street Photography (Psicografici Editore, 2023).
