From an early age, I have been surrounded by art. My grandfather was an art collector, which meant that old paintings and furniture were an essential part of the surroundings throughout my upbringing. I grew up in an ancient family palace in the heart of Florence in 1978. In 1998, I started traveling and photographing for magazines and newspapers. Later on, from 2000 to 2003, I studied photography in Milan. After a commercial start as a photographer, I have been focusing mainly on personal art projects. In my professional as well as private life, my Florentine background has stayed with me.
Today, I have 25 years of experience in photography, both on the commercial and art side. I specialize in analog photography and mainly do black and white work.
My project Man and Nature has developed into a life project over the years. It started in 2011 and is still in progress. For now, it covers Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the Baltic Countries. Next countries are Italy, Slovakia, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland.
