His work focuses on environmental and social justice issues, particularly on topics such as industrial pollution and health problems. He works mainly in Southern Europe and Latin America, documenting the relationship between humans and the natural environment, revealing the consequences of environmental exploitation on vulnerable communities.

In 2019, he moved from Italy to Spain to further his photographic education. Thanks to a series of scholarships, in 2022 he continued his studies in Madrid, where he pursued a master’s degree in photojournalism, honing his skills in telling impactful social and environmental stories.
