Got a new shirt

Did I ever tell you how much of an obsession I have for period costumes? And about how I wish I could dress like a medieval paesant on a daily basis, and like a victorian widow at night? I don't think I did. Well, now you know. Had I the money to invest on some period garments, you'd probably would never catch me wearing pants ever again. Oh god I love pants, and jeans! What do you think? Would...

To my mum

Sometimes my photos are just waiting for me in a certain spot, at a certain time, through a certain light, that I just need to reach and capture. I see them getting bigger as I get closer, and I can describe them even before they become a thing. It feels like a hunting session, like I'm in control of my creative journey. Then come different circumstances, in which I must abandon myself to the f...

Random quakes

Asked my man to try and slightly shake the camera while taking the photo (we changed settings of course), cause with a tripod I could never reach the same results. Not sure if I like it really, maybe with a different light? Everything is way too vivid here. Anyways, it was raining during this set, and I think an old woman saw me from a distance.

Night walk

The night-shootings season is officially open! I don't know about you, but I am already sick of the Summer, perishing in this infernal heat. Good thing I like random spotlights and a generous dose of shadows!

Expect more stuff like this to come in the future <3

Arms up

The excitement and joy to find a new, interesting, but especially GREEN spot! It's always when I'm less prepared, that good light reveals itself to me: I went into that wild, extremely humid path wearing flip-flops and a long skirt. Not sure if I can call it a forest, but sure thing there was enough green for my taste (and enough mosquitoes to go mad 10 minutes into the process). The magic of ...

The almost-sleeping beauty

At this point I was exhausted, sweaty as hell and poisoned by tons of mosquito/spider bites. I just wanted to lay somewhere, and of all the places, I chose the least stable one: while posing for these photos, some of that wall's bricks were menacing to fall at any given moment, and take me with them. Did I at least manage to LOOK comfortable? I hope so. I could have done better on that spot, b...

Frogs and Dragonflies

Now that the Sun is well awake, to go location-seeking has become a much pleasant adventure. May is the best time of the year to explore gardens and parks, and this one has been on my list for long. When I got there, I was prepared to find it closed, or to realize it to be a private property, but I've been lucky instead: this wonderful, hidden gem welcomed me in all its splendor! My bad for mak...

Still life

Una vita immobile. Che dolce paradosso, che pericolosa illusione! Ne cado vittima ogni volta che poso per voi, ogni volta che freno il mio respiro, contraggo i muscoli e fisso lo sguardo senza vedere nulla; il momento si dilata mentre attendo il suono dello scatto, e poi torno ad essere libera. Torno ad essere viva. Tutto in me si muove, tutto fugge dalla messa a fuoco, eppure nelle mie fotogra...

The first set of March

Flowers for spring, groundbreaking!

That’s all I have to say. Sorry for this set, things didn’t go as planned 🥹

The second set of March

This set was simply about trying to pose on a tight dress, and eventually going through a nervous breakdown because I couldn’t fucking move freely. Also: you know I love green. Enjoy 🧚

The third set of March

This set made me want to share more details about my overall chaotic and low budget backstages ❤️‍🩹 As some of you might know, the end of this month also marks the end of a beautiful work experience in a flower shop, that took most of my energies for almost three seasons. During this time, to put myself in the conditions to create has been harder than ever, so I had to get frugal and p...

Set di fortuna

Honestly, not much to say about this set, except for: it kinda sucks. I literally had no time or chance to do better, so I tried to find a spot in my house that you haven't already seen a million times before. My bathroom door, that's it. It was meant to be black and white, but it was sooo boring! This color correction felt different, not sure if I will use it again, but well...hope you'll like...

Più vicina al cielo

This set is about my first time sleeping in the mountains. That little room hosted me for a night, and gave me comfort while outside a snow storm was happening. In the morning, the sky was clear as ever, the air was delicious to breathe and even the Sun welcomed me so gently. I really couldn't leave without taking some pictures! When I booked that stay, my intention was to visit a forest nearby...

First set of 2024

Coming tonight. For all my 20€+ Patrons.

Stay with me.

Plans for the weekend

Yesterday I had the pleasure to walk through this enchanting beech trees forest, and damned myself for not carrying my camera with me. So many other times it happened, that I’d find myself in a beautiful place, without the time or conditions to be able to photograph it. But instead of mourning all those untaken pictures, today I choose to invest some money to get back to the forest, next week...

December sets

Pushing my camera to its limits whit the second two self-portraiture sets of this month, shot in very dark places, much darker than they seem in pictures. I don't mind a little disturbance on my pixels, if that's the cost for such cinematic effects. I must admit that I'm learning to take pleasure in shooting with limited light sources, especially at night, especially outside. Next year I'll kee...

Le cicatrici

Quanto più intensamente si vive in questo mondo, tanto più il mondo ci adorna di cicatrici, segni indelebili del passaggio del tempo e di tante altre cose sopra - dentro - il corpo che siamo. Io mi sono sempre sentita addosso più tempo di quanto non ne avessi trascorso, e nonostante ciò, sapevo che di fronte allo specchio non avrei rilevato traccia alcuna di quella verità. Le percosse dell...

Me and Flora

Now that December approaches, it's been 3 months since I've decided to dedicate half of my days to the care of flowers and plants. Weeks passed by like seconds, but the trace of hundreds of blooms and leaves remain written in my hands, wounded by god knows how many rose thorns, tired for holding the weight of my creative expression, like no other part of me ever did. This new lifestyle is heali...

Night session

Good morning my dearest 🖤 This month’s sets have been waiting for me to edit them for way too long, merely because my second job is taking most of my time and energies, especially now, with the upcoming winter holidays. I can’t forgive myself for struggling to manage every aspect of my life without letting something behind, but I guess we all have the same problem, don’t we? This previ...

Second and third sets of October

Again, it’s all about the beautiful location and majestic lights. I wish I could create in such inspiring places more often! Tell me, which one of these sets did you like them most? ✨

First set of October

A little pole dance in a beautiful loft, right in the centre of Lisboa. I feel like some sets come together on their own, and I’m just happening to be in them. I think in one picture you can see a bottle of water on the table, couldn’t get rid of it properly with Photoshop (not even A.I. helped) 🙈 Sorry 🖤

Available for all my current Patrons 🌙

Last set of September 🌻

Just came back from a quick stay in the magnificent city of Lisboa, and cannot express with words how hard I wanted to move there, the second I arrived. I really can't, so I will not even try. Just go there and see, taste and smell yourself. It felt as if I were in Italy, in a parallel dimension, in which art and craftsmanship never stopped being valued and supported; in which young people woul...

Palazzo Canossa

Between the Thirteenth and the Fourteenth Century A.D., a rich man commissioned the building of this majestic palace, decorated by the most brilliant artists of the time, and fated to host some of the most influent characters of history. In 2023 A.D., a common citizen that I am, saw a beautiful triangle of pure Sunlight projected onto that same palace's wall, and made it hers forever through Ph...

Viva e vegeta

Since I've pledged all my afternoons to this new little job, I've found myself more incline to appreciate my free time, and more willing to honor it with quality and efficiency. It's hard to accept this nature of mine, that fails to appreciate things when they are abundant (such as free time, for example, but not only), but immediately recognizes their value when - or because - they're rare. I ...

Roses are red

Violets are (purple) blue, I’m applying for a “normal” job too.

Inflation doesn’t seem to stop, our government doesn’t seem to care, and since I can’t cut any more expenses, here I am applying for another part-time job, this time as a 🌸 flower designer 🌷

I don’t want to tell you much, cause I’m still on trial, but if the Universe will be kind, you will see ma...

August 2023

Too hot to be outside, this month I had to invest in some locations to be able to create. Locations that resulted to be quite boring in terms of both light and environment, and way too expensive to be so filled with mosquitoes 🙈 but I figured something out anyways. Didn't really have the brain to get deep this month, so I've tried to focus on the surface, and give my body some extra credit �...

Self-portraits in July 2023

They say some people work better under pressure, well that probably explains why the sets came out so nice this month. I don't know about you, but July 2023 has chosen climatic violence in my region, so I guess it inspired me to be as creative as it was in its attempts to kill us all 👀🦋 Oooh, well...whatever it takes to bring home a bunch of good photographs 🧚🏻‍♂️ I'm showing ...

The set that never was

If you've already received this month's self-portraits, you will know that this time I've decided to discard a full set, in favor of another one. It's a pretty common situation for me, especially when I have the opportunity to create more than the necessary 🌸 Here's the only superstite picture from said set, taken in Marsa Alam, after my first sunbath of the year, and hours before going sick...

Third set of April

I'm happy with this set. All it takes is a majestic tree, interesting light and, well...the opportunity to uncover a little 🌱 If it wasn't for the fact that I had some auto-focus issues, it would be one of my favorite sets. I had to throw away dozens of amazing shots cause they were unfocused 😔 Enjoy ❤️

Second set of April

I've found a mini cave! When I've spotted it, I wasn't prepared for a shooting, but I luckily had my camera with me, and a boyfriend too 🤓 I think you know by now that whenever there's no way for me to set my tripod, my man becomes the tripod, and takes the pictures for me. Something you may not know, is that when this happens, we always end up fighting 🙈 That's because I still act like a...
