about stefano

Born and raised in Italy, Stefano’s journey into photography began while working with one of the top luxury fashion e-commerce brands in the country. Surrounded by the world of media, magazines, and pop culture, his love for storytelling grew alongside his lifelong passions for geography, travel, and exploring different cultures.

Before turning 30, Stefano had already traveled to 30 countries, immersing himself in diverse experiences that shaped his artistic vision. Trusted by clients across the globe, he’s captured personal moments in Bali, Hawaii, India, Scotland, Spain, and throughout Italy.

Fluent in 3 languages and deeply culturally aware, Stefano has a unique ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His photography blends his love for fashion’s elegance with the heartfelt authenticity of real human stories.

Stefano’s work reflects a timeless beauty—crafted not just to preserve memories, but to bring them to life with a sensitivity and artistry that speaks to the soul.

"The experience me and my fiance had with Stefano was easily one of the best parts of our trip to Venice. We wanted a photographer but we also made a friend. Stefano is a very relaxed and fun person, yet, he is also a brilliant and seasoned professional.
Stefano gave us some amazing tricks to taking beautiful pictures, took us to stunning locations, and even sat down and had a coffee with us. He is easy going and it truly feels like walking around Venice with a friend.
You truly get more than you pay for... after living the experience, I really think we should have payed more! If you are looking for a great way to see hidden parts of Venice, take some fantastic photos and make some amazing memories, then I would highly suggest Stefano!"

Wherever my work takes me, I’m always eager to uncover the unique character of a place—the charm of its hidden spots, the allure of its architecture, and the flavors that give it life. These moments always find their way into my photos, adding authenticity and style to every shot.

My travel map is a collection of dream destinations, each one offering something new to discover.

I’m deeply grateful for the life I’ve built—one filled with discovery, meaningful connections, and a constant quest for beauty in all its forms. Every journey I take not only deepens my creativity but also brings fresh inspiration to my work, whether through quiet moments or vibrant encounters with different cultures. Each experience shapes my perspective and fuels my passion for storytelling.

"I wish we could have Stefano photographing our life in general - definitely one of the top photographers in Italy."

Stefano is an amazing photographer - we came to Venice for my wife's birthday and stayed at the Gritti Palace. Stefano was quick to respond and did an excellent job of prepping us for the photo shoot. He knew all the best places to shoot and the quality of his work is nothing short of incredible. He has a great personality and immediately put my wife at ease and shared some tips from his fashion experience that my wife and I still use today. I wish we could have Stefano photographing our life in general - definitely one of the top photographers in Italy. I'd highly recommend him for any photo shoot, definitely weddings and everything in between. If you want to look like a Million $$ then go with Stefano. He has magic in his eye! (And yes - that is us, my wife and I).

"Stefano guided us and somehow made us comfortable posing!"

Book Stefano. You won’t regret it. He is so kind and patient. He is a stellar communicator from the moment you book to the time your session is complete. He personalizes your shoot and considers your goals and hopes for it. My husband and I have only had professional photos taken once on our wedding day. Stefano guided us and somehow made us comfortable posing! It was so much fun! I’m so grateful we will have these photos forever. Thank you, Stefano, for sharing your time, energy, and talent with us!

"Stefano gave us options of a couple different routes with different picture locations and let us choose among all the best spots."

Our photography session with Stefano was a great experience. We booked a sunrise session in Venice for our honeymoon, when thunderstorms were forecasted Stefano proactively reached out to reschedule for the following morning. Stefano gave us options of a couple different routes with different picture locations and let us choose among all the best spots.
Stefano made us feel comfortable and was very easy to talk to. We spent a couple minutes doing introductions at the start of our shoot where he also informed us about his style and what he wanted from us.
We really enjoyed meeting Stefano and hope that our paths will cross again! I would highly recommend this experience to others looking to get photos in Venice.
