This photograph is the continuation of a journey, a photographic exploration that has become part of my life—both professionally and as a student.
Khalil Ahmad, a top player for VL Pesaro, an Italian professional basketball team, is captured mid-air performing one of the most beautiful and spectacular dunks I have ever photographed. His pose—so sculptural and perfect—is the culmination of a photographic vision that I continue to pursue to this day.

I am a photographer from Urbino (PU), born on March 31, 1999.

I studied Cultural Heritage with a focus on Art History, and later earned a degree in Art History at the University of Urbino Carlo Bo. I am currently in my final year of the Master's program in Photography at ISIA Urbino.

I started taking photographs as a child, trying to document the world around me and always looking for new stories to tell—even through video.

Since 2020, I began taking photography more seriously. I initially focused on photographing wildlife, then gradually experimented with other genres, eventually collabora
