"I am a cinematographer and digital artist with extensive experience in both live-action and CG production. While studying Computer Science at the University of Milan, I co-founded a company that brought together engineers, filmmakers, musicians, and designers, researching new ways to use technology as a visual communication tool.
As a cinematographer, VFX artist, and director, I've worked on diverse projects, including music videos, opera projections, short films, commercials, video games, and interactive websites.
I am now based in Los Angeles, where I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Master’s in Film and Television Production, focusing on Cinematography, Color Grading, and Visual Effects. In LA, I had the chance to experiment with cutting-edge technologies, shooting a movie funded by the Jaunt VR Lab and working on a design promo for Microsoft HoloLens.
Accessing computer graphics to aid my study of light and composition, I developed techniques to prototype my shoots using virtual lighting setups. I constantly research new technologies, finding ways to blur the line between visual art and technology.
After working as a digital artist and colorist for a few years, in 2020 I joined Reel FX as Virtual Cinematographer for the Netflix animated show, "Super Giant Robot Brothers." The show leverages real-time rendering in Unreal Engine to bring live-action immediacy to CG animation. As Director of Photography, I'm in charge of camera and lighting, developing real-time rendering techniques that bridge stylization and classic 3D rendering."
