With my photographic projects I try above all to stimulate the observer to enter parallel worlds. My works are emotional and surreal photographs, there is a strong conceptual elaboration because I know I don't tell an objective reality but to show stories of people, concepts and worlds as I feel them through the filters of my experience, my culture and my my feeling. Staged photography plays an important role for me, the possibility of organizing space to create an image according to an idea. The bond between cinema and photography fascinates me, for me contamination is innovation. I agree with Vincent Peters' phrase: "You don't make a photograph just with a camera.You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved"
