The Capital Gate Tower in Abu Dhabi was designed by the architectural company RMJM and was built in 2007. With its 18° slope, it's the world's most tilted building.
Graduated in languages, I worked several years as translator/employee and started photographing just to keep memory of my travels abroad. I started photographing in digital about 9 years ago and now my favorite photographic genres are architecture, street, minimalism and naturalistic photography. About 8 years ago I started exhibiting my photographs in several collective exhibitions in Italy and abroad. One of my last collective exhibitions was in a gallery in Rue de Seine in Paris (Galerie Etienne de Causans) during the Paris PhotoAward 2019 and my photo was sold to a Parisian collectionist.
