Self-taught. Art Basel 2025. Marbella 2026.
A camera at fifteen.
He never put it down.
His father handed him his first camera. This is what came of it: five works in private collections, an Art Basel 2025 showing, representation by Monat Gallery for the 2026 Marbella season — and now his debut solo exhibition, opening the doors of Gilded Edge Gallery, Miami.
Walk through the exhibition
Rome, 2020
It started on streets like this.
The year the habit became a practice — last light off Via dei Condotti, one figure crossing, nothing staged. He shot until the light was gone.
New York, 2024

Fifteen seconds of held-open shutter at blue hour. Traffic dissolves into light. The Empire State Building holds still at the center of it.
Miami — home
And home is where the doors open.
A full moon over the Cape Florida Lighthouse, minutes from where Gilded Edge Gallery now stands. First Light, his debut solo exhibition, opens here.
