" I am always searching the Beauty as the core of uniqueness. There is nothing more attractive than a person able to love himself for what he really is, by exposing and exalting his own weakness and “perfect imperfections”. I adore the skin, I am obsessed with the narrative power a naked body has, I find there is nothing as tender and reassuring. I like shooting people in a intimate environment, as my bedroom. I adore looking at their bodies moving and at their whiteness skin changing according to the different topic we discuss about. The act of shooting is a sensitive moment of supreme confidence between the subject and the photographer. The photograph shows who are you and what are you going through. It is not a matter of body and appearance. A gaze, the rhythm of breathing, a movement of body are able to tell you much more than what you are able to think. " - from i-D Italia, interviewed by Gloria Maria Cappelletti.
