Smartphones are an indispensable and very useful tool, from which all of us have developed a little or a lot of dependence. Its use is a daily gesture, physical and postural, that joins or separates us, helps us for working or just to have fun…. surely absorbs minutes, hours, days of our time.
This aspect, perhaps, gives us a different point of view … that allows us to observe with curiosity, fun, irony and sometimes with dislike.
This series is an extract of a project starting from 2018 that would tell stories related to these feelings and the smartphone ’s uses and abuses. The selected photos were taken in several European cities.
Artist statement: Exploration and versatility are part of me, this approach has inevitably affected my photos: I like to play with different styles and subjects, trying to tell stories about people.

Thank you!
Striking work. Every photo tells a story. I loved your photography on the use of our phones. As an older woman who considers myself to have been an old soul at sixteen, I find the constant interaction with phones the biggest border in many ways since slavery and racism. It doesn’t have to be that way. Thank you for sharing your work it speaks for itself. Love the climbing photography. Joni
