Nato a Roma nel 1990, è laureato in Filosofia e ha studiato fotografia e tecniche di stampa in camera oscura. La sua ricerca si concentra sul rapporto tra i processi fotografici e il linguaggio visivo, utilizzando materiali e tecniche di stampa come strumenti di creazione e traduzione per esplorare la virtualità e la materialità delle immagini.
Nel 2012 il suo libro auto-prodotto The Arab Revolt è stato incluso in The Photobook: A History, Vol. III di Martin Parr e Gerry Badger. Il progetto è stato esposto durante Paris Photo e successivamente acquisito dal J.F. Menschel Photography Library Fund del Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York.
A seguito delle sue ricerche sul Dark Web e della sperimentazione con tecniche di stampa alternative, nel 2017 ha pubblicato The Iceberg (Edition Patrick Frey). Il libro riceve una menzione speciale per l’Author Book Award ai Rencontres d’Arles 2018 ed è stato finalista al Prix Bob Calle du Livre d’Artiste.
Nel 2021 ha preso parte alla mostra collettiva Retrofuturo al museo MACRO di Roma. Nel 2024 è stato selezionato da CAMERA come uno degli artisti del programma europeo Futures. Nel 2025 presenta una mostra personale al Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Massimo, con un progetto incentrato sugli archivi e sui depositi del museo.
Vive e lavora a Roma, dove insegna Fotografia, Storia e tecniche dei processi di stampa, Fotografia per i beni culturali.
