I am a conservation biologist, wildlife photographer and documentary filmmaker driven by a passion for understanding and protecting the natural world.

My journey began in 2019, when I started studying nature photography on film at ACFactory in Modena. What started as a creative passion soon evolved into something much deeper. Through my academic studies in ecology and years of fieldwork in remote environments, photography became a way not only to document wildlife, but also to tell the stories behind conservation.

I have worked on wildlife research and conservation projects in Mongolia and Namibia, collaborating with scientists, local communities and NGOs to monitor endangered species and address human–wildlife conflict. These experiences have shaped both my scientific career and my visual storytelling, teaching me that conservation is ultimately about the relationship between people and nature.

Alongside field research, I currently work at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL), where I develop artificial intelligence and computer vision tools for biodiversity research. My work focuses on combining ecological knowledge with deep learning to improve wildlife monitoring and ecological data analysis.

Photography and filmmaking remain at the heart of everything I do. Whether documenting snow leopards in the Mongolian Altai, working with pastoral communities in Namibia, or producing conservation documentaries, my goal is always the same: to create stories that inspire a deeper understanding of nature and the people who live alongside it.

I believe that science and visual storytelling are most powerful when they work together—not only to document the natural world, but also to help protect it.
