Fashion photographer, widely recognized for his striking work featuring nude models in top-tier publications like Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar, has made a lasting mark on the industry. He’s best known for his bold aesthetic and artistic vision, which have defined much of modern fashion photography. Over the years, he has lensed major campaigns for luxury brands such as Calvin Klein, Prada, and Yves Saint Laurent—each project further solidifying his reputation as a leading name in the field.
Before fame took hold, he picked up a camera at just 18 years old, sparking what would become a legendary career. His big break came in 1993 with an iconic image of Kate Moss for Calvin Klein—a moment that not only launched him into the spotlight but also redefined fashion advertising. That shot became a cultural milestone, and from there, his trajectory soared.
Family plays a strong role in his life and creative world. He shares a close bond with his younger brother Davide and younger sister Vannina, both of whom have followed in his footsteps as accomplished photographers. Together, they’ve cultivated a shared passion for visual storytelling. On a personal note, he lives a grounded life with his wife, Mary Frey, with whom he has two children. Balancing family and artistry, he continues to shape the fashion world—one powerful image at a time.
Before he found his true calling in photography, he had always dreamed of becoming a painter or sculptor. For years, he explored different forms of artistic expression, spending countless hours sketching and shaping clay, hoping to make his mark that way. But as time went on, he began to see the world through a different lens—literally. Photography slowly captured his interest, and eventually, it became clear that this was where his real passion lay. Still, those early aspirations shaped who he is today, influencing the way he frames each shot. He often reflects on how his journey started long before he ever picked up a camera, back when he imagined himself standing in front of a canvas or beside a sculpture. Now, every photograph he takes carries a bit of that original vision, a quiet tribute to the artist he once thought he’d become.
