About
Since taking a course at Penn State University in 1992, I have developed my photographic work first analog and then gradually adapting my methods to the digital tool. My main themes are portrait and nude photography, focusing more generally on the body in all its forms ; the body in motion, the still body, the painted body, the body ceaselessly interacting with the light that shines upon it ; zooming-in on the body transformed by light.
I began working as a studio photographer but I have since expanded to outdoor spaces, peripheral to the cities, where the natural world and the world altered by man meet ; semi-urban or industrial spaces, eventually leading me to worlds where nature sometimes – always? – overcomes.
Having long worked on 35mm film, I have now diversified my photographic tools and do not shy away from older, sometimes elementary techniques such as pinhole photography or the photogram, or through the Polaroid film, in search for the one single image.
