After earning a degree in design and visual communication from the Polytechnic University of Turin, he started working as a freelance photographer and graphic designer.
Thanks to his infrared series shot in New York's Central Park, he has gained international recognition and his work has been featured in a variety of magazines including The Washington Post, Wired, [i]La Repubblica[i], Vogue, and Vanity Fair. In 2018, he cofounded the communication agency No Panic with two other partners, through which he has collaborated with brands like Adobe, Huawei, Red Bull, and Pantone.
