Commissions

Commissioned portraits developed through a shared, authorial process.

Equine and human portraits conceived as unique works, not as simple photographs. Each commission begins with an encounter and develops through light, time, and a relationship with the subject.

The Commissioned Work

A commission is not a standard photoshoot.

I do not work with predefined images or replicated requests. Each project is built around the subject, their character, and the space in which the encounter takes place.

My approach is slow and intentional: observation, listening, and the construction of the image are as much part of the work as the final photograph.

Types of Commissions

Commissions may develop across different contexts, while always maintaining the same visual language and authorial approach.

Equine Portraits

Works dedicated to the horse as presence and matter. The image emerges from the encounter between subject and light, without descriptive intent.

Human Portraits and the Human–Animal Relationship

Projects in which the human body enters into dialogue with the horse through gesture, contact, and proximity.

Special projects

Commissions developed for breeders, collectors, exhibition spaces, or editorial contexts.

The process

Each commission follows a shared process.

The work always begins with a conversation, necessary to understand both the subject and the context. This is followed by a phase of observation and study of light, space, and relationship.

The photographic session is not guided by poses or rigid timing, but by the moment itself.

Image selection and finalization are carried out with care, maintaining aesthetic and conceptual coherence with the project.

The final work

The result of a commission is a finished work.

Images may be intended for fine art prints, numbered editions, private collections, or exhibitions.

The digital file does not represent the final goal of the work, but rather one of the possible tools.

Contacts

If this approach resonates with your expectations, you are welcome to contact the studio to begin a conversation and explore whether and how a project can be developed together.
