I’ve always had the need to travel since a very young age. Born and raised in Milan, Italy, I eventually left my native city to live in Zurich, Switzerland while I made travel plans any chance I could get. My camera became my best travel mate and this is how I immersed myself into photography – it was the perfect way to fuel my curiosity of the world with creativity. I feel mostly alive when I travel, and photography allows me to capture and share these moments.

Waking up in an unfamiliar place is the best way to start my day. Meeting local people and absorbing every bit of their environment is what inspires me the most. I love to capture the eyes of people, especially children and the elderly, when they're sharing their stories with me.

I now live in one of my favorite cities Hong Kong, a unique place where the traditional and modern live in perfect harmony. I can’t think of a better place to call home.
