Working with gowns design by one of my favourite designers is definitely poses a specific challenge: Zac Posen’s designs transformed the aesthetic of the fashion industry, and I knew, that doing justice to the iconic designer, I had to create something simple, sophisticated, but still punchy and potent as a dry martini. Geometry of the body, history of art, dramatic backdrop layering, geometric juxtapositions, all became elements of experimentation.
As a boy – not much older than my own daughter now – I spent some beautiful days with my mother teaching me about artists like Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keefe and Lyonel Feininger.
Anchored in this classical education, this photoshoot became a sort of tribute to my favourite painters and photographers that make up my visual dictionary. Inspired by modernism, modern dance, film noir, and of course my constant companion in everything I do – music, I decided to give myself unprecedented permission to explore that narrow corridor between fashion and wedding photography.

My models are never live mannequins for the clothes , but complex, etherial (if not otherworldly)
actresses.
This shoot had to be the kind of imagery that registers as a provocative visual statement of
femininity as a gentle force.

I travel the globe photographing life’s important events, weddings, and editorial shoots. I care deeply for each couple's love story as a worthy and unique piece of art. My photography is intimate and fashion-forward, with a painterly old-world charm, and infused with meaning and a sense of purpose.
I serve discerning clients from over 20 countries, and also teach remarkable photographers all over the world, aiming to inspire a new generation of artists to build thriving brands and use their Art as a platform for positive change.
My work stems from an overwhelming desire to advocate for empathy, empowerment, and the spreading of kindness. I hope that by showing all the goodness that exists in the world, I might help make the world a bit better, ever so slightly, because I can imagine nothing more powerful than two humans in love!
