Journalist, photographer, video-maker.
My "career" began in 1997, when i was charged with vandalism for spray-painting, something which i had been doing since 1991
I then studied molecular biology at University, but, at 24, I started to make a living out of photography.

Da una dozzina d'anni mi guadagno da vivere come fotografo di cronaca.

If Guy Debord was right in highlighting that social relations between people are increasingly mediated by images and representations,
then can modestly shooting news for a living be a personal source of demystification?
