Richard was born in this flat. He moved out in his twenties and came back when his father died to take care of his mother. He used to enjoy taking landscape photographs. He showed me his collection of cameras and photography magazines. When I met him after the shooting he told me he has been thinking about going back taking pictures
When I was a child I used to dream about awaking in an abandoned town and have free access to anyone’s home.
I grew up in a small Italian village; studying art was a way to reach out to wider world. A friend lend me his camera, the first I used it I knew I wanted to become a photographer.
After graduating at Bauer School of Photography, I moved to New York where I was a teaching assistant at International Center of Photography. Upon returning to Italy I headed the Photography Department at Falcone Design School and studied cinema at D.A.M.S. University of Literature and Philosophy. During this time I developed my personal projects and I worked for a variety of professional commissions, including Grazia Neri Photo Press Agency.
Three years ago I moved to London. My obsession has remained the same: to find a point of entry to another person’s life, to explore my fascination with the world.
My last project,”CLOSE: Ewen house” is about the encounter with my neighbours.
