From headshots to personal portraits, I photograph creatives, entrepreneurs, couples, travellers, and the many characters I meet along the way.


I shoot in my studio in Florence or out on location, wherever you feel most like yourself. If you’re visiting or creating content, we can plan a route through the city around the light and the places you want to see.


Many of the people you see here I met across Italy and beyond: neighbours in Certaldo, friends in Salerno and Rome, and fellow artists from my time at Penland in North Carolina.
