The project Lost is an introspective narrative that investigates the multiple reflections of the mirror of the self. The artist lays himself bare before the camera becoming both an active and passive subject of his own investigation. The camera is the medium that breaks down the limen between the inner and the outer world, a world that expresses its drama and complexity through the juxtaposition of warm and cold tones, shadow and light. A coexistence of contradictions where the photographer leaves only one clue: "In darkness catch the light."

I fell in love with photography in 2006, when I decided to buy my first reflex. I always have cultivated this art as a passion, going from the landscape and travel reportages to the urban and street ambient, due to a rising feeling to catch what suddenly happens in the daily life. Even If I like to study always different techniques, mainly represented in black and white, I am currently attracted by fashion, portrait and body photography.
