In recent years, I have focused on travel reportage, with a particular emphasis on the off-road world. I have created reports for national and international off-road magazines and also collaborate with event organizers and race teams.

Motorsports, especially offroad, are my world, my passion, and my profession.
Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in this field, which has taken me around the globe to work with some of the most prestigious off-road competitions. Events like King of the Hammers (USA), Rebelle Rally (USA), Ultra4 Europe (EU), Breslau Series (Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania), Rainforest Challenge (Malaysia), Carta Rallye (Morocco), Grand Sud Orientation (Morocco), and Europa Truck Trial (EU) are just a few of my collaborations as an official photographer.
My work isn't limited to race organizers; I also collaborate with teams. Among my clients are renowned teams like Gigglepin Racing (UK), Campbell Racing (USA), and Levi Shirley (USA). I have also worked with industry leaders such as Euro4x4parts (France), Total Chaos Fabrication (USA), Gigglepin Winches, Equipe 4x4 (Italy), as well as major TV productions like the BBC. Additionally, I focus on off-road magazines, particularly leading European ones, for which I create exclusive shoots and articles.
Rest assured, wherever there's dust or mud, you'll find me capturing the best off-road drivers in action!
The people in the photographs tell us their stories and life experiences. I believe that every reportage, even in sports, should include portraits. People are the heart and soul of every race or event. Whenever possible, I prefer to photograph people in black and white, as removing distractions allows us to focus directly on their essence.
One of the most beautiful aspects of my work is the opportunity to travel and discover unique, unforgettable places. Travel photography, including landscapes, allows me to share my emotions and the often one-of-a-kind locations I've encountered throughout my life. Beyond documenting my experiences in articles, traveling gives me the chance to fully express my creativity and continue exploring a passion I’ve had since the beginning: capturing moments in black and white.
Fashion and advertising photography represent my roots, and I can never forget them. At the start of my career, I had the honor of working in Milan with great photographers and masters of the craft. Back then, fashion and advertising were our daily bread. I owe them a lot, and whenever I can, I return to my origins.
From the Sky. I also specialize in aerial photography, capturing shots from helicopters. This vantage point often highlights the drivers' performances, placing the races in a unique and unforgettable context. In recent years, with the advent of drones, I’ve expanded my capabilities to include drone photography, further enhancing my ability to capture stunning aerial perspectives.
