Emmy-winning Director of Photography based in Dubai with 20+ years in nonfiction storytelling and commercial production, working with VICE, HBO, BBC, Showtime, Apple TV+, ABC, PBS, The New York Times, and Al Jazeera. Honors include two Emmy Awards, an RTS Award, a Peabody, an Edward R. Murrow Award, and multiple festival premieres including Tribeca.

As a videographer and camera operator, I also shoot commercial and corporate work for brands like Hyundai, Cadillac, Prada, and Coach, plus clients across the UAE and Gulf region.

I've filmed in 60+ countries — from the war in Afghanistan, where I lived for years, to the rise and fall of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, cartel violence in Mexico, and the conflict in Ukraine. Comfortable leading full crews or working solo, producing and editing as needed.

My focus is vérité and cinematic storytelling, equally at home in the field or running multi-camera interview setups. I also specialize in cinematic interview packages, executive profile films, and brand documentaries.

Italian passport holder; fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
