I managed to pay for my university studies by doing video installations for museums, art exhibitions, live concerts and shows and achieved a MA in educational sciences (University of Bologna) and a MA in digital technologies, communication and education (University of Manchester).
Thanks to my profession, I traveled all over Europe working with major musicians and dancers from all over the world.

In 2007 I founded the International organization Cultural Video Foundation, with the aim of using multimedia as a tool to inform, connect, advocate and educate disadvantaged people all over the world.

I define myself as a media activist and "film for change" can easily resume my vision.
In this information society knowledge is power, but it is also a precious good and I am dedicating my passion and profession in spreading media and information literacy, as a basic human rights and an invaluable skill for today's and tomorrow's citizens.

I create handcrafted documentary films full of heart and empathy.  Films that inspire and resonate long after viewing.  Stories of heroes and victims, science and progress, climate and environment.

With more than 20 years as a photojournalist and filmmaker, my passion for storytelling has taken me from the burning ghats of Varanasi, India, to a smuggler's tunnel in Nogales, Mexico. Capturing the complexities of the human spirit and creating images that move others to act is the greatest gift of my profession.

During my newspaper career, I was twice named Scripps Howard photographer of the year and earned dozens of national and international awards. I work for newspapers, including The Washington Post and NY Times, magazines and media outlets, as well as commercial and nonprofit clients. I also teach video storytelling and serve as a board member of the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar.

I have made two very successful feature length documentaries – one about a homeless man running from his demons and finding grace in unlikely places, and another about finding solutions to racial inequality following the death of George Floyd.  My short films have earned three Emmys and a national Addy.

I live in Boulder, Colorado and welcome any assignments or inquiries, near or far.
