The world is filled with beauty so stunning
that we want to freeze the image in time. My role as a photographer
in capturing this beauty, is to invite the viewer to the
adventures they have yet to
seek.
In my photography I am finally putting my Ivy league education
in engineering to good use, blending the precision engineering
of the technical demands
of photography with the creative artistry that brings it
to life. I’m based
in Northern Italy but the free world is my studio and I’ve photographed
extensively across western and central Europe for travel
articles and features.
A hotel, a spa, a dining room represent much more than bricks,
mortar and style. The photograph of a space must suggest the
story that lies
beneath and entice the viewer to imagine the people, character
and the feeling it encompasses. I aim to use my lens to sift
through the component parts of a face or a place, to capture
the underlying emotion, a suggestion
of mood and the energy of its expression.
