An Italian documentary photographer rooted in Berlin

I am an Italian lesbian photographer based in Berlin, working across classical music, opera, theatre and long-term documentary projects. I collaborate with festivals, musicians and cultural institutions, creating documentary images that capture both performances and the people behind them, on and off stage.

Alongside commissioned work, I develop long-term documentary projects exploring intimacy, belonging, migration and queer identity. I am currently working on Two hours ago I fell in love, an ongoing photographic diary about lesbian love, tenderness and everyday intimacy, developed within the Meisterklasse at Ostkreuzschule under the mentorship of Sibylle Fendt and Peter Bialobrzeski.

In 2023, I graduated from Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie in Berlin with Empty Rooms on the Second Floor, an intimate multigenerational portrait of Filipinx migrants living between Italy and the Philippines.

Born and raised in Rome, I moved to Berlin at the age of nineteen, where I live and work as a freelance photographer and video producer.

Available for editorial, festival, classical music, opera and theatre commissions across Europe.
