A Passion For Diving, Cinematography & The Ocean

About Me
For as long as I can remember, the ocean has been a place of fascination and discovery. My journey into underwater filmmaking began with a degree in Biology, driven by a desire to understand the natural world and share its stories with others. That scientific foundation continues to shape the way I approach filmmaking — with curiosity, research, and a deep respect for marine life.
Over the past several years, I have worked as an underwater filmmaker, capturing compelling stories from beneath the surface. My projects range from wildlife documentaries to branded content, often centered around marine conservation and education. Whether documenting marine plant restoration efforts in the Mediterranean or filming elusive marine species in remote archipelagos, I strive to create imagery that connects people emotionally with the ocean.
As a certified divemaster and CCR diver, I have spent hundreds of hours underwater, in both tropical and cold-water environments, learning to get close to marine life without disturbing it. My current tools include RED and Sony mirrorless camera systems in Nauticam housings, which allow me to achieve high-end cinematic quality even in the most challenging conditions.
Filmmaking, for me, is both an artistic pursuit and a call to action. Each production is an opportunity to amplify the voices of scientists, conservationists, and communities working to protect our oceans. I believe visual storytelling can be a powerful force for change — one frame at a time.
