Brand Photography
I photograph professionals who understand that authentic imagery matters more than polished perfection. Your website needs headshots that actually look like you. Your brand needs visual content that tells your story honestly. Your workspace deserves documentation that captures both function and character.
As a documentary photographer born in Rome, I've built my practice on one principle: show reality beautifully, don't create fiction. Whether you're a lawyer needing professional portraits, an architect documenting your studio, an entrepreneur building personal brand, or a creative wanting images that capture your work in context—I bring the same approach: natural light, real moments, authentic you.
Professional Portraits & Headshots
You need updated imagery for your professional life—website, LinkedIn, speaker bio, press materials. These portraits show who you are while maintaining appropriate credibility for your field. We shoot in your workspace, architectural locations around Rome, or settings that make sense for your profession. Natural light, authentic expression, enough variety for different uses.
Multiple looks in single session. Different backgrounds, different moods, both close headshots and environmental portraits. You'll have options that work for formal situations and others that feel more approachable.
Starting from €250 | 1.5 hour session | 40+ edited images within 2 weeks
Workspace & Studio Documentation
Professional photography of your office, studio, retail space, or creative environment. I document both the architecture of the space and how you actually use it. These images serve multiple purposes—website portfolio, press features, promotional materials, or simply as record of your environment.
We shoot the space itself (clean architectural compositions) and the space in use (lifestyle moments showing function and character). Whether it's a design studio, medical practice, retail shop, or creative workshop—I'm looking for what makes your space yours.
Starting from €350 | 2-3 hour session | 50+ edited images within 2 weeks
Personal Branding Photography
Comprehensive visual documentation of you and your work. We spend a half-day together capturing you in action, in your workspace, with your tools or products, showing process and finished work. The goal is building a library of authentic images you can use across all your platforms—website, social media, presentations, marketing.
This isn't about perfect scenes. It's about honest documentation of what you do and how you do it. Real moments that connect with your audience because they feel true. By the end, you'll have 80+ images showing different aspects of your professional life.
Starting from €450 | Half-day session | 80+ edited images within 3 weeks
Architectural Photography
Interior and exterior documentation of buildings, offices, and properties. Professional architectural photography capturing design, materials, light, spatial relationships. Works for architects building portfolios, businesses showcasing their location, property owners wanting high-quality documentation, or anyone needing serious architectural imagery.
I bring documentary photographer's perspective to architectural subjects—I'm seeing how light moves through space, how design elements relate, what makes this architecture distinctive. Technical precision combined with artistic eye.
Starting from €400 | Half-day session | 60+ edited images within 3 weeks

HOW I WORK
Documentary Approach
Documentary photography means I'm showing what exists, not creating what doesn't. For headshots, I'm not making you pose awkwardly—we're finding natural positions where you're comfortable and the light is good. For branding sessions, I want to see you actually work, with your actual tools, in your actual space.
Years of photographing people in their environments—through 850+ cultural experiences, street photography, weddings, personal portraits—taught me to read light quickly, anticipate moments, work efficiently without disrupting what's happening. I know how to capture you at your best without making the session feel like performance.
You receive edited images within 2-3 weeks via private online gallery. High-resolution files ready for any professional use. Usage rights are straightforward: images are yours for your business purposes—website, social media, marketing, print, presentations, portfolios. I retain copyright (can show work in my portfolio), but you have full usage rights for your professional needs.
The Process
We start with conversation. Tell me what you need—updated headshots, full branding session, workspace documentation, architectural photography. What will you use the images for? Who's your audience? What's your timeline?
Based on that discussion, I'll provide a clear proposal with pricing, deliverables, and schedule. On session day, my approach adapts to what we're shooting—portraits get natural direction for good composition, branding work means observing you at work, architecture requires methodical attention to light and space.
Images delivered 2-3 weeks after session via private online gallery. High-resolution files ready for immediate use.

FAQ
What's the difference between personal portraits and brand photography?
Personal portraits are for you personally—images for yourself, family, relationships. Brand photography serves business purposes—professional headshots, marketing imagery, website content, LinkedIn, business promotion. Different uses, different session approach, though both rely on natural light and authentic moments.
Do you photograph products?
If your product is part of your professional story, yes—documenting you with your work, products in context of use, environmental product shots. I'm not a pure product photographer with studio setup for e-commerce images. But if you're a maker, artist, or craftsperson who needs images showing your work in authentic context, I can do that.
Can you shoot in my office/studio?
Yes, that's often the best approach. I work with available light when possible, bring minimal equipment, adapt to your space. Natural light is almost always better than artificial lighting for authentic feel.
What if I'm camera-shy?
Most people are uncomfortable being photographed initially. We'll start with easier shots, conversation to relax you, and I'll work quickly once we find what works. The goal is authentic expression, not forced smiles. Many clients tell me they didn't realize how easy the session would be.
Do you do team photos?
Yes, for small teams (up to 10-12 people). Larger groups require different approach and pricing. If you need individual headshots for multiple team members in one session, that's very doable and cost-effective.
What about retouching?
I do professional editing—color correction, exposure, basic cleanup. I don't do heavy retouching that makes you look like someone else. The goal is professional imagery that's recognizably you. If you have specific concerns (temporary blemish, etc.), mention it—I can handle that. But I won't give you plastic surgery via Photoshop.
Can you photograph my building's architecture?
Yes, both interior and exterior architectural documentation. I bring documentary photographer's eye to architectural subjects—I'm looking for light, composition, how space functions and feels. This works well for architects' portfolios, businesses showcasing their space, property documentation.
Do you work with small businesses or only established professionals?
Both. Whether you're solo entrepreneur just starting out or established practice with team, approach is same. Your stage of business affects budget more than approach—we'll discuss what you actually need versus what would be nice to have.
How many final images will I receive?
Quantity listed in each service description is minimum—you'll often receive more. I deliver every image I consider portfolio-quality from your session. For portraits that might be 40-60 images from 1.5 hours. For full branding day, 80-120+ images. Quality over arbitrary quantity.
What can I do with the images?
You can use them for your professional purposes: website, social media, marketing materials, presentations, print, LinkedIn, press kit, portfolios. You're not buying exclusive rights to images (I retain copyright and can show them in my portfolio), but you have full usage rights for your business needs. Simple, clear, no complicated licensing.
