I am a photographer, film maker and a great lover of slow travels.
For more than 15 years I have been dealing with various types of photographic services, for events, ceremonies, music, art and nature.
One of my greatest passions is to create bonds with people, using photography as a channel for mutual knowledge and sharing.
I enthusiastically collect life stories of dreamers, families and explorers, and all the treasure they hold in their experiences.
I am very passionate of mountain biking and surfing; I love to relax by playing drums and didgeridoo or sipping a good wine in front of the fireplace.
I am the father of two little brothers, and they are certainly the greatest passion of my life.
In 2014 I started a documentary experience in various countries around the world. I collaborated with NGOs and made two documentaries. In 2015 I received a Documentary Award at the Humanity Photo Awards 2015 by Cfpa & Unesco.
I directed two documentaries:
MISTIQUE OUIDAH – DIEU EST CAMÉLÉON
Directed by Matteo Perini, Simone Stefanelli. A documentary genre film – Italy, 2015, duration 52 minutes.
For thousands of years the mysterious and cryptic Voodoo faith has played a fundamental role on the populations of West Africa, in the Gulf of Guinea. In 2015, two reporter left for Ouidah for the third time. They try to discover what lies behind religious mysteries that at first glance seem inextricable, discovering not only the dynamics of the Voodoo faith, but a mixture of apparently distant and incompatible religions. This constellation of faiths seems to compose an umbilical cord that intimately binds the population: a magical mental and social condition that proves to be extremely unique and precious, especially in this moment of instability due to the disruptive action carried out by extremist groups.
E DASHUROJNË ME ZEMER – PERCHÉ LA AMANO CON TUTTO IL CUORE
Directed by Stefania Amanti, Matteo Perini. Documentary genre – Italy, 2015
August 2014. The Spartiti per Scutari Orkestra, an orchestra of traditional Albanian music, composed almost entirely of Italian musicians, goes on tour through the Balkans for the first time, taking a long bus journey to Kosovo and Albania. The final destination of the journey is Scutari itself, the city of origin of Bard Jakova, artistic director and only Albanian musician of the group. Every city and concert is an opportunity for meeting and exchange between the cultures of different peoples.
