My work revolves around the transition our world is facing through technology. Our landscapes,
our cities, the way we produce energy and food is changing and my goal is to document it.
Producing multimedia contents on these themes is in my opinion strongly linked to an equally
technological way to produce images. For still photographs medium format has been my
preferred choice for years now, and Fujifilm’s GFX system certainly helped me to push my
production even further.
