In Italy, he was commissioned by a major pharmaceutical company to produce high-end corporate and lifestyle imagery that balanced scientific credibility with human warmth and approachability. His work has also taken him to the Bahamas, where he photographed luxury beachfront resorts, creating vibrant, sun-drenched imagery that showcases the experience, atmosphere, and natural beauty that draw travelers from around the world.
