Since 2013, I have worked in visual communications and cinema, where contemporary documentary practice becomes a tool for deep and critical engagement with global events. My professional path has led me to the epicenters of conflict, to the creation of socially driven projects, and to telling stories that aspire to leave a lasting imprint on our collective memory. Much of my work focuses on humanitarian crises, human rights violations, and armed conflicts, as well as on crafting visual narratives for international brands and renowned companies.
My journey began at one of Europe’s leading institutions for design and art — Istituto Europeo di Design (Milan), where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communications and Photojournalism. Yet my true education unfolded in the field: on the front lines of war, in Syrian refugee camps, and within social institutions among those whose stories are both devastating and profoundly human.
Since 2016, I have had the honor of collaborating with teams from the United Nations and Médecins Sans Frontières, documenting the consequences of the Syrian war. I have prepared reports for Agence France-Presse and Associated Press, witnessing firsthand the reality that exists beyond headlines. For several years, I also created content for Nike Western Europe, capturing the energy of major marathons and international sporting events.
Today, my cameras are directed toward what I consider the most defining tragedy of our time — the Russian–Ukrainian war. My manifesto defends a fundamental human right: the right to self-determination, identity, and survival.
Through my camera, I build a path from the most volatile regions of the world and the daily struggle for life — into the silence of cinema halls and onto the stages of international festivals. I bring reality to the spaces where it can be seen, understood, and heard.
In an era shaped by misinformation and artificial intelligence as a new reality, documentary filmmaking remains the only form of direct testimony capable of delivering truth. It is not a version of events — it is evidence of presence.
My work is the voice of those who can no longer remain silent — stories of life and death, struggle and faith in truth, even when its cost is freedom and the hope for a future.
