When did you start taking photos, and how did it happen?
After high school, I was hell-bent on studying photography, but the costs of schools in Milan were (and still are) brutal. I jumped into a series of internships at ad agencies, where I got lucky and dove deep into photo post-production, dreaming of one day becoming a photographer.
Years passed, and I decided to take off for three months to Southeast Asia—one of the best experiences of my life. When I got back to Milan, without a second thought, I registered for a VAT number. The freedom I tasted in Asia? There was no way I was going to find that trapped in an office, grinding away for someone else.
Not long after, I won a photography contest to manage Sephora Italy’s socials, finally breaking into the scene. It wasn’t a cakewalk, though; in this game, connections often trump talent.
What’s the title of the shoot you did for MLN, and what’s the story behind it?
Looking back at the shots, I think of “the secrets of the snail.” So elegant, so patient, so slow but laser-focused on its goal. It takes a while, but it always arrives.
What inspired you? What’s the idea and feeling behind these images?
I believe that snails, like some women, have a distinct sensitivity and their own rhythm.
Close your eyes and think about the word ‘pleasure’… what do you see?
As for “pleasure,” it really varies from one period to another and depends on the situation I’m in.
Your work is defined by its colors. What color – or colors – best represent you?
Definitely pink – it feels warm, intimate, and safe
