Personal Photography Work

Personal Work & Outdoor Stories

For a long time, my camera was strictly about business. Between shooting, editing, delivering, and planning the next architectural project, I put everything I had into building my brand. Until I hit a wall. That first creative breakdown was a wake-up call: I realized I had stopped taking photos for myself, losing touch with the reason I ever picked up a camera in the first place.

Growing up and traveling around the Alps, photography was always about freedom. It was about capturing friends hanging out in nature, documenting sport climbing trips, and recording the raw, unscripted moments of everyday life.

In 2022, I picked up a Leica Q2 with a Summilux 28mm f/1.7 in Dubai. That camera became my key back to personal storytelling.

When I am not on commercial assignments across the Middle East and Europe, you will usually find me on the limestone crags around Arco, Trentino, and Alto Adige. Rock climbing and outdoor life are a huge part of who I am. Shooting sports, landscapes, and mountain light keeps my eyes sharp and my soul full.

Understanding natural light, spatial scale, and environment in the wild directly feeds into how I shoot high-end luxury architecture. Here is a look at life outside the commercial grid—just good times, great landscapes, and stories captured frame by frame.

Personal 2025

Creating personal photographs is the foundation of my work. Images should capture real memories and emotion. They make people feel, smile, and remember the moment. Photographs freeze the time.

Every single day, I make it a point to create at least one photograph.

Good or bad, it doesn't matter; I do it for the joy of creating and the constant process of learning. All personal images are captured on Leica cameras.

Personal 2023

Creating personal photographs is the base of my work. It creates memories and emotions, makes people smile or cry. Everyday I create at least one image. Good or bad? I dont care, I just have a fun and I always learn something new.

All photographs created on Leica cameras.
