TITLE: Wooden Dragon

The long and multi photographic exposure of a trunk beached on a shallow seabed in the north Adriatic (Italy).
A sinuous shape that writhes, like a sea monster emerging from the abyss in an alien place, without space and time.

All my education was developed in the area of ​​creativity, first the art school
and then the IED of Milan in the fashion department.
I worked as a designer in Milan for various clothing brands and collaborated with an architecture magazine of the Mondadori group.
Photography has always been a passion of mine, since the days of analog.
I prefer reportage, street photography and photographic storytelling in general, also through the fusion and contamination of images that develop a non-analytical sign language.

I was finalist at the Sony Awards 2022 professional documentary section, winner of the ND Awards 2022 long exposures, finalist at the Urban Photo Awards 2022 (portfolio), finalist Siena Awards 2022, finalist World Water Day 2022, winner as best author at the main Italian FIAF competitions (Follonica , Golden chip, Cameri, Murlo, Brugine)
