WHO AM I?
Thank you for visiting my website.
I’m an Italian-born, UK-raised Director of Photography with a career that spans continents and industries. My passion for lighting began in 2007 when I made the transition to a full-time role as a lighting technician/designer for theatre productions touring Italy and Europe. This foundation in lighting, combined with my meticulous eye for detail and strong work ethic, allowed me to rapidly advance in the industry. By the age of 20, I was designing and programming light shows aboard Costa Cruise theatres.
In 2013, my journey took me to Manchester, where I discovered cinematography. This transition felt like a natural extension of my lighting expertise, providing me with a technical edge that helped me stand out in the UK market. As my network and the scope of my projects grew, I co-founded G6 Motion Control Ltd in 2018. G6 has since become one of the world’s leading visual engineering firms, specialising in motion control systems for cinema.
After selling my stake in G6, I relocated to Italy, where I continue working on international productions in advertising, music videos, and film as a Director of Photography. My experience with cutting-edge technologies, including Phantom Cameras, Motion Control, Tracking Vehicles, and Virtual Production, ensures I can bring any creative vision to life.
Fluent in both English and Italian, with dual UK and Italian citizenship, I offer flexibility for international productions, particularly in light of the challenges posed by Brexit. Based in Northern Italy, I am ideally situated to support UK-based projects, facilitating seamless coordination and travel arrangements.
I am truly fortunate to have a career I’m passionate about. If you're looking for a highly experienced cinematographer with a unique technical edge, I’d love to collaborate on your next project.
