Francesco is a photographer and filmmaker originally from the border region between Italy and Slovenia. He honed his photography skills at the IED in Milan and has further expanded his creative expertise through studies in Travel Journalism in London, NLP in Barcelona, and Reiki in Mantua. Fluent in Italian, English, French, and Spanish, Francesco brings a multicultural perspective to his work.

With over twenty-five years of experience, Francesco has lived and worked in major European cities including Milan, Paris, London, and Barcelona. His passion for photography has earned him international recognition, with awards in both food photography and personal projects that challenge conventional boundaries.

Francesco’s artistic approach transforms subjects into compelling new forms. Rather than mere provocation, this transformation serves as a means of escape, illustrating the intricate relationships individuals have with their physical and mental environments. For him, the realm of imagination is the foundation of our thoughts, filled with dreams, symbols, and images that construct a fantasy world essential to the human experience.

Francesco has collaborated with a diverse array of prestigious brands and publications, including Elle, GQ, House & Garden and Wine Enthusiast. His client roster also includes famous names such as KitchenAid, Sony Playstation, and Unilever, among others.
