Street work | This is a collection of images I took in the last three years around the cities of London and Florence. Discovering street photography has been like opening up to unknown perspectives from which to look at life, when I shoot in the street the world present itself to my eyes as a gigantic spectacle, free and wonderful, a kind of boundless breathing amoeba where everything lives.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER | I am a photographer based in London, England. I was born in Florence in 1991. I was initially employed with a photojournalism agency, I curated a very rich historical archive of over three million images taken from 1944 to 1980s by the founder Giulio Torrini, who captured half a century of Florence’s history. That is also where I learned the basics of photography. After that, in 2015, I moved to London where I currently live. My work has been exhibited in Miami, London, Milan, Rome and New York. I am a finalist of the 2019 Miami Street Photography Festival and a finalist of the 2020 Italian Street Photo Festival. I give street photography workshops in London and Florence.
