I’m a street photographer from Naples, Italy. I walk a lot, watching how people move, how they exist inside the city without thinking about being seen. My work is about real moments, not constructed ones. I’m interested in ordinary people, small gestures, faces that carry time, silence, and history.
Naples shaped the way I see. It’s a city full of contradictions, beauty and decay living together. That tension is always present in my photographs. I’m drawn to light, shadows, and to the emotional weight of a scene more than its perfection
I often work with a vintage and cinematic approach, inspired by film photography. Grain, imperfection, and atmosphere are part of the language. Photography, for me, is a way to preserve fragments of life before they disappear.
