As founder of Dag Pro Studio, he has collaborated with some of the most prestigious Italian and international food brands, such as Urbani Tartufi Italy and USA, Melegatti, Farina Vini, Coop, Slow Food Editore, Conad, and many others. He has also worked with Michelin-starred chefs like Masa, Michael White, Gianfranco Vissani, and Ciro Scamardella, helping to create images that serve as effective communication tools to enhance gastronomic excellence.

His work combines technical rigor, mastery of lighting, and composition with the goal of evoking emotions and stimulating the senses—transforming every shot into a visual story that captures audience attention and effectively supports clients’ marketing strategies

Among his most notable projects is the photographic illustration of the book Le stagioni del tartufo (Slow Food Editore), a perfect blend of visual storytelling, territorial culture, and gastronomic quality.

His talent has been internationally recognized with awards such as:
· Foodelia International Award 2022 for Best Food Photographer in the World
· Finalist at the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year 2023 in London, one of the most prestigious awards in food photography
