In brilliant times, when sparks fly, before walks that meet, and eyes that organize a little play of smiles, my mission is to capture what goes over big. The wingbeat of a feathered dress, a spectacular destination, or the sheer joy and headiness of moments as you alone intend can all bring it on.
BEHIND THE LENS

Scripting electric storylines in Milan's designer-scene Gabriele's stylistic approach culls from fashion-campaigns & photojournalism.
His wedding images tap on the modern side of Love meld with
Italianate sapor.
As a fashion portraitist I've treaded between reality and fantasy, identity and inclusivity, time, space, culture and (be)longing. These all influenced how I photograph real people, urging me to create images that offer -in their simplicity- a connective tissue and counterpoint to my subjects. I tell stories of how chance encounters between strangers come to form families, and capture how their shared space, experiences, values and time bring about the little magic the future needs. It's all very Italian, and so universal at the same time.
THE BEAUTY OF YOUR DREAMS
But what is vital is that you believe in the beauty of your dreams;
the kind of beauty that transforms a stranger into your life companion; the one of things palpable and those microscopic;
what makes you call a faraway country home for the weekend, and leaves you speechless while gazing at the colors of the sea; the beauty that is profound and original.
This is the beauty I want to capture with you, the extraordinary one.

my number one reason to long for home
living off my suitcase, three seasons out of four
I say "10 years ago" and still somehow think of 1998
this house is run by two bosses,
and none of them is me
Nonna's "parmigiana" is
ALWAYS a must
"Slim darling, you came along into my arms and into my , and all the real true I have is yours ... "

YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS
If one day your senses overflow with nostalgia will you go tell? And if a snippet of your daydreams tries to run awry what would you do to hold it back? You need only discreetly slip into your pocket a map of your world and a phone so it can show you the route. We revisit photographs to the places and times we're yearning to return. And your wedding gallery is an adventurer like you, from far away or even nowhere in particular. Your best images are a suitcase, packed for the moon, back and the stars in-between.
