I photographed students of Iuav Design della Moda for the new cover story of D La Repubblica written by Serena Tibaldi — great to have had this opportunity, it’s always nice to work near home. Thank you Photo Editor Manila Camarini and Art Director Pamela Berry and to the beautiful people who we met and helped us (impossible to mention them all) Maria Luisa Frisa, Mario Lupano, Saul Marcadent, Gabriele Monti and Teo Zanin.

The exhibition will feature a selection of images taken from WOW, the new issue of Wired magazine. The pictures illustrate the main new developments in innovation by artists such as Mattia Balsamini, Alex John Beck, Obert Benson, Philippe Braquenier, Daniel Brown, Nicola Galli, Sean Lemoine, Spencer Lowell, Etienne Malapert, Benedict Redgrove, Craig Ward, Dan Winters, Patrick Witty and others. The show is curated by Wired Italia, in collaboration with MINI.
I’m beyond thrilled to announce I’ve been awarded this year’s Friuli Venezia Giulia Price for regional author at CRAF Centro di Ricerca e Archiviazione Fotografica.
Somewhat disarming to learn the national author award goes to the immense Letizia Battaglia.
My gratitude goes first and foremost to Guido Cecere, for always supporting my work, together with Walter Liva and all the staff at CRAF.
There will be a show opening at the beginning of July, for which I will make sure to bother you enough ahead of time.
Divisare recently published a set of limited edition architecture photobooks — I’m glad to have photographed one of Elasticospa projects for one of them. The book, along with many others available in the set, can be founf here.
Many thanks to Lloyd Marcus Andresen for involving me in this beautiful project.
I visited a selection of departments and laboratories at MIT for WIRED Italia for the latest issue, entirely dedicated to images.
