photo by M.R.Peña

Initially he was interested in photojournalism, choosing social issues, mainly work-related, as his topic. Between 2000 and 2009 he worked in Latin America and Italy. In the following years he started to develop a new research which led him to combine the classic photo essay style with a more implicit approach, particularly using architecture photography. In his projects the human figure tends to disappear, even though man is still the key figure.
His works have been published in some of the most important Italian and International newspapers and magazines, and he has participated in a number of personal and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad. He’s a member of the French agency PictureTank. He lives and works in Milan.
