Purchase my Christmas Cards before December 1st and get a 10% discount!! It’s that easy!

I love all forms of art, but photography and digital art are my greatest love affairs! I love capturing ‘moments’ and the spirit of places and people, and hope that each of my photographs tells a story full of tone and emotion.

I am Italian – my origins are from Catania in Sicily, but after marrying a roman, Rome became my adopted city and love affair! However, I am currently living in the vibrant & energetic inner city suburb of South Yarra in Melbourne, Australia with my wonderful husband and our beautiful son, Adriano.

When I am not behind my camera on a photo shoot or on my laptop bringing those photos to life, I am a language teacher in both Italian and English. I have degrees in psychology, sociology, education and Italian studies.

Traveling, books, writing and people are my other passions. My mission this lifetime is to experience as much as I can; learn about and absorb everything that surrounds me; master and perfect that which is important to me; and lastly, to find harmony & balance between my academic and curious mind and my creative and energetic spirit!

I hope you enjoy your journey through my folio, as each photograph will help you get to know me just a little bit more…...

Baci e Saluti, Luisa
