I believe myself to be a professional, conscientious, honest and hardworking individual . I have surely proven excellent track records throughout my education history and I have enjoyed working with some photographers in supporting them in their activity in Italy
I am interested in photographic analysis of territory, architecture, natural and urban landscape Particularly I see photography as an instrument to investigate society and natural and urban changes over time
