My work is an expression of a hidden universe, a world shaped by intuition, instinct and contradiction. When it comes to photography, I approach it as if I were blind – not to capture what can be seen, but to reveal what can be felt. I want to see everything. And more.

Each image is a fragment of my inner landscape: sometimes silent, sometimes electric, but always unchained. I disobey even my own rules in pursuit of authenticity. Something raw. Like a brutal kind of poetry.

It is an ongoing search for the subtle emanations of existence: quiet moments, violent ones and everything in between. My aim is to give shape to what slips between words, to capture the scent of a memory, the echo of a dream or the shadow of a thought.

I have worked as a freelance photographer and photo editor for the past eight years, collaborating with a variety of clients in different contexts. Over the last four years, I have specialised in digital photography, post-production and e-commerce, working as a Digitech, image retoucher and photographer in the fashion and luxury products sector. These experiences have strengthened my technical proficiency and professional adaptability while deepening my understanding of visual language in commercial contexts.

I am particularly interested in fashion and product photography, and I have realised that I want to build a lasting, successful career in this field as both a photographer and a high-end image retoucher.

I am professional, focused and committed to delivering results. I approach every project seriously and with great attention to detail, always aiming to meet or exceed the creative and technical objectives set before me.

This portfolio showcases my work in editorial, performance and retouching, reflecting the evolution of my creative vision.
