Bio

 

I started to take pictures at a really young age with my father, who was a professional wedding photographer. By the time I was 20, I was working in Milan for the news agency Newpress, visually documenting social, political, and sports events. After four years I took a job as a light and digital assistant in fashion photography, before shifting to focus on international issues, foreign affairs, and long-term photographic projects. These days I work as a freelance photojournalist, working to illustrate resilience in the face of adversity while holding the powerful to account.

Currently based in Milan, over the last six years I have reported from across Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Western Africa and the Middle East, with long-term projects that include investigating the intersection between teenage pregnancy and malnutrition in Cambodia, Laos and the Philippines (funded by the European Journalism Centre) and working to depict the maternal health crisis in rural Nepal. I’ve also spent time following minority religious groups impacted by the Mosul conflict in Iraq, I have documented the human impact of the Marawi siege in the Philippines, and followed the journeys of those impacted by the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Most recently, I have turned my lens towards environmental and agricultural issues: investigating the exploitation of migrants in Portugal’s berry fields, and reporting on the social and economic consequences of Italy’s worst drought in living memory.

I’ve been published in national and international magazines and newspapers including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Tatler, Sunday Times, Vice, News Deeply, Esquire, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair, Il Corriere Della Sera and Repubblica.
