Me in Brief

Born in Paris and shaped by a life between Venice and the UK, I embody a fusion of artistic vision and commercial intelligence. I graduated in Business from the University of Exeter, and over the years, I have built a career that bridges photography, visual marketing, and high-level tourism strategy.

Rarely without my camera, I have lived and worked across Europe, Southeast Asia, Central America, West Africa, and the Middle East—an ongoing journey that has shaped my distinctive visual language. As a photographer and visual marketing specialist, I create imagery that goes beyond aesthetics, translating destinations and brands into compelling visual narratives that resonate, inspire, and ultimately sell. Fluent in four languages, I move between cultures as intuitively as I compose my frames.

My photographic work has received international recognition. I was named “Leader in Contemporary Art 2020” by Capsules Australia, included among the “100 Best Photographers 2021” by Photographize Magazine, and featured on Saatchi Art. My work has appeared in publications such as BBC News and Fraction Magazine. As a seasoned stock photographer, I contribute to platforms including Getty Images, Shutterstock, and Adobe Stock, and previously worked as a marketer for 123RF, one of the world’s largest stock photography agencies. In 2021, I published my first photobook, Venetian Visions, a poetic tribute to the city that shaped me.

Alongside my visual work, I am also an author of business books focused on marketing and sales strategies, where I share practical insights drawn from my experience across industries and international markets.

Parallel to my creative career, I have built a strong reputation in the global tourism industry, specialising in revenue acquisition and profit optimisation. I have held senior leadership roles across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, including Head of Sales and Marketing, Director of Revenue Management, and DMC Director for a number of hotels and tour operators.

Today, I live in Oman, where I serve as Director of a leading destination management company operating across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. I actively participate in major international travel fairs such as WTM, ITB, ATM, and STF, and I am frequently invited to consult tourism companies, speak on industry panels, and appear on television—bringing a perspective that blends strategy, experience, and a deeply visual approach to the future of travel.
