No posing Real stories

Photographer in Rome for 10 years. Whether it's your wedding, a sports event, or your brand's image,
my goal is to stop time without ever asking you to pose.

Fewer poses,
more truth

Hi, I'm Max. I've been working as a photographer in Rome for over a decade. Over time, I've seen stressed couples, distracted athletes, and stiff professionals forced into unnatural poses. That's when I decided I would do the exact opposite.

Today, I combine pure reportage with an editorial aesthetic. This means whether you are at the altar, on the track, or in your studio, I will never ask you to "smile at the camera."

To ensure maximum coverage from every angle, I coordinate a selected team of collaborators, professionals who share my same discretion.

I capture what really happens, delivering a preview of the first perfect shots just 48 hours after the event or shoot.

Frequently
asked questions

I hate posing and I'm not photogenic. How does it work?

No problem, almost all my clients say the same thing. My style is reportage: whether it's your wedding, a corporate shoot, or a sports event, I will never ask you to smile on command. You live the moment, I'll take care of the rest.

How long until I (or we) receive the photos?

Within 48 hours, I will always send you a preview of the very first shots so you can share them immediately. The turnaround for the full gallery depends on the service: for a portrait or corporate event, about 15 days is enough, while for a wedding, we will define the exact timeline together in the agreement. Either way, no endless months of waiting.

Do you only work in Rome or do you travel?

I work throughout the Lazio region and happily travel anywhere in Italy. When you reach out, just let me know the location of your event: we'll discuss it during our first call and figure out every detail together transparently, with no hidden fees or last-minute surprises.
