Dance has been a big part of my life since I was a kid. I grew up in Italy, trained in ballet, and later moved to the U.S. to study at the San Francisco Ballet School before dancing professionally around the world.

That experience helps me see movement differently when I photograph dancers. I understand what goes into each pose and how much work is behind every image. My goal is to create photos that dancers feel proud of—real, honest, and full of life.
