Biography
With a background in both journalism and web design, I’m a multifaceted photographer who combines artistic expression with documentary storytelling. My work blends visual creativity with narrative, drawing on my diverse experiences to create images that are both thought-provoking and deeply connected to the human experience.
I’m driven by a deep curiosity to connect with others, to dismantle boundaries, and to explore unfamiliar landscapes — both external and internal. My work is a journey of discovery, where I often find myself surprised not only by the people I encounter but also by the revelations I uncover within myself. At the heart of this evolving practice lies a commitment to understanding and witnessing the human experience, with the ultimate aim of sharing the stories that bind us together.
My work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Nanjing Fine Arts Museum, as well as at festivals in China, France, and Italy. I am represented by OFOTO Art Gallery and NOMAD NO MAD Space in Shanghai, and by VISION QUEST Gallery in Italy. I am a member of the STUDIO HANS LUCAS (specializing in documentary photography), and a contributor to the ARCANGEL IMAGES agency (focused on artistic illustration photography).
Having lived in Italy for 10 years, I have been based in Nanjing, China since 2015. In addition to my photographic practice, I guide photographers on journeys through China, especially across the Tibetan Plateau. I also teach photography courses and workshops for adults. I also run a photography blog where I discuss creative approaches to the medium
