My photos have been featured on several book covers, including works by acclaimed authors like Steve Cavanagh, Karin Slaughter, and Kat Rosenfield. You can explore these covers on my Licensing page.
In 2024, one of my photographs (Burning Memories of a Lost Childhood, which is also available for licensing through Arcangel) was selected as one of the Entries of the Week for the prestigious Sony World Photography Awards.
With over 395,000 total entries and thousands submitted weekly from all around the world, having my photo chosen as one of only six that week was truly an honor. The image, featuring a miniature rocking horse engulfed in flames, symbolically reflects how burning painful childhood memories can make way for a brighter future.
This selection stands as a meaningful recognition of my work as a still life and conceptual photographer, particularly in my new focus on book cover photography for the thriller genre.
While I no longer focus on ‘traditional’ macro photography, I’m honored that my work has been featured in magazines, exhibited, and recognized over the years.
Exploring nature’s Unconventional Microcosms shaped my perspective and sharpened my eye for the subtle and often overlooked.
2nd place Trophy – Una valanga di scatti
In March 2010, my photograph Scolpiti nel Silenzio (Sculptured out of Silence) won 2nd place in the Color Section of the International Photographic Contest “Una valanga di Scatti”, organized by Associazione Culturale Bludigitale.
Later that year, the image was displayed at the Auditorium of the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri in Rome (snapshots from the exhibition can be seen here below) and published in the book Le stagioni di Bludigitale.
In addition to receiving two honorable mentions in contests organized by Associazione Culturale Bludigitale in 2011, my work was featured in the “shortlist of outstanding contest entries that also caught our eye” (aka Notable Mentions) of 500px’s Birthday Contest in December 2014, selected from over 2,000 submissions. I also won 1st place in the publicly-voted photographic contest “Verdistanti” with my photograph Melancholic Violet.
My photography has been featured in the winter 2012 issue of the magazine 5×5 and in the April/May/June 2013 issue of the e-zine Fourx5, where seven of my images were published alongside a short interview. Additionally, some of my photos have appeared in the Italian magazine Fotografare, either as winning entries in its monthly PhotoContest or through selection by the editorial team.
