My name is Martina, born in 1993, and I hold a degree in Cinema and Performing Arts from Université Paris 8, with a specialization in photography and screenwriting.
I lived in Paris for four years, a city that became an endless source of inspiration for my photographic voice. Among its streets, cafés, and unmistakable atmosphere, I learned to notice beauty in the smallest details, in fleeting everyday scenes, and to transform them into images that tell stories. Paris taught me to observe with intention and to photograph with delicacy, shaping my artistic eye in ways I still carry with me.
But that artistic gaze was already part of me, because I quite literally grew up with a camera in my hand. When I was six, my father gave me a little yellow Mickey Mouse film camera while I, with the corner of my eye, was already dreaming of the bigger one he used. From that moment on, wandering around and photographing everything, I slowly developed the sensitivity that now guides the way I tell the beauty of ordinary life. It’s the thread that has shaped the photographer I am today.
This project, in particular, was born the moment I was (re)born as a mother. That’s when I felt the urge to tell parenthood and couple life for what they truly are: a tapestry woven from real, imperfect, sometimes chaotic, yet always extraordinary moments. Not the polished images of a fictional perfection, but the hidden details in daily gestures, in silent glances, in sudden laughter. Those fragments of life that rush by quickly, too precious to disappear without leaving a mark and it is precisely there that my photography finds its deepest meaning.

Every photographer has a gaze and this is mine: authentic, documentary, cinematic, and a little nostalgic.
And rather than defining myself, I prefer to tell stories.
Through courses, masterclasses, and mentoring, my way of seeing has evolved and grown with me: today I combine a documentary approach with a hint of cinematic romance.
But be careful: this doesn’t mean creating something fake. It means elevating reality, letting light, gestures, and emotions become more intense through my perspective.
The result? An ethereal and poetic narrative that will surprise you and allow you to see your own story in a new light.
