Thank you for landing on my website!
I’d like to tell you more about myself and my background and hopefully to connect with you!
About me
I was born and raised in Italy, Agrigento. I have had a passion for visual art and photography throughout most of my life, and have developed a strong understanding particularly in digital photography over the past ten years. After completing a Bachelors’ degree in Painting at the Academy of Fine Art of Catania, I moved to Bologna to study for a Master’s degree in Photography. Once completing my studies, I wanted to work abroad to broaden my skills, therefore I moved to London in 2013. I am still living in London, currently based in Camden, working freelance in events and portraiture.
I am a very easygoing, open minded and outgoing person and I always do my best to make my clients feeling comfortable and laid-back during a photo session. I know all the tricks and tips, especially if you have kids (I am a mum myself) and I love people’ s stories and diversity.
I’d like to thank you for your time and also to express my excitement about potential future collaborations or projects with you. xxx
