A great conversation requires two people to talk and listen. I think a great photograph requires the same.

My approach to photography is not to tell people what to do or how to do it.  Instead, I work to create environments where people feel like their most authentic selves and then capture what happens.

Although I went to school to study photography, life has always been my best teacher. When making photographs, I try to capture moments that resonate with my heart. Usually, these moments are simple and right in front of me.

While I generally always have a camera in my hand or near by, when I’m not making photographs, I love hanging with my dog, listening to music, getting lost in a great book, or enjoying a minute of silence in a loud world.

I’m the youngest of eleven Italian kids, and I discovered early that, in addition to learning how to eat quickly, following your heart is the best way to live.

I have been fortunate to work with many wonderful clients, including Susan G. Komen, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Magazine, Pfizer, Doner Agency, and The New York Times. My photographs have been featured in magazines and exhibitions around the globe, as well as being part of the permanent collection of The Akron Art Museum.

 

Thank you Angelo!
