Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not a model, and I'm nervous about being photographed. Is that okay?

Of course. It’s my specialty to photograph people who aren’t used to being in front of the camera. My entire approach is about creating a comfortable space where you can be yourself. Think of it as a conversation, not a performance. I’ll guide you every step of the way.

What should I bring or wear?

During our vision call, we’ll discuss this in detail. I suggest bringing a few outfits that make you feel truly like you — whether that’s elegant, casual, or creative. The most important thing is your comfort and confidence.

Can the session be done at a location that is special to me?

Absolutely. While a studio provides a controlled environment, a portrait session at a location that holds personal meaning can be incredibly powerful. We can discuss the possibilities and find the perfect setting for your story.

How many final images will I receive?

Our foundational portrait session includes a beautifully curated gallery of 10 masterfully edited images, each chosen to capture a unique facet of your personality. This collection provides a complete and timeless set of portraits you will be proud to share and display.

Do you have a photo studio in Milan?

I collaborate with fully-equipped partner studios across Milan, booking the space that best suits the concept; sessions can also be done outdoors with beautiful natural light in iconic locations.
This flexible setup ensures professional lighting, backdrops, and comfort when needed, while outdoor portraits deliver refined, natural-light aesthetics.

Do you offer family portraits?

Yes — intimate, fine art family portraits are available in studio or outdoors; sessions focus on authentic connection and elegant, timeless images.
If a more extensive family session is needed, the experience can be tailored with additional time, outfit coordination, and a child-friendly flow.
