PHOTOGRAPHER TURNS CORPORATE CAREER INTO CAPTURING LOVE STORIES

For quite a few years photography had been an hobby and a passion while I lived in a few European countries, when I came back in Italy I started to devote more and more time to photography education and practice and before I realized I was working as a full time photographer.
Now more than 12 years passed from  this beginning and I find it as rewarding and inspiring as day one.
