My interest in photography first began in my early teens, when I became fascinated with the work by the photographers of National Geographic.
This interest and fascination led to my first job as an apprentice in a photography studio in Genoa, Italy where I grew up. While working on still life and portrait photography, I spent countless hours in the darkroom learning black and white processing and printing, Cibachrome printing, and E-6 processing.
My love for travel and photography led me to my next job as a cruise ship photographer, enabling me to visit and photograph most of the beautiful Caribbean Islands and Bermuda.
