I was born in Rome and raised by my Colombian mother, and I think growing up between those two cultures shaped the way I see people, family, and relationships.

Photography entered my life 16 years ago and never really left.
I still get excited about cameras, film stocks, books, and all the little details behind making an image. I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to that stuff.

But after all these years, what keeps me interested is still the same thing:

people.

Ciao, I’m Mattia.

I’ve always been curious about them.
Their stories, their families, their relationships, and the things that matter to them.

Weddings bring many of those things together in a single day.

Not just beautiful locations or carefully chosen details, but families meeting, old friends reuniting, parents trying not to cry, grandparents sitting quietly and taking it all in, people sharing a meal, a drink, a dance, and a memory they’ll talk about years later.

My work sits somewhere between documentary storytelling and artistic observation.

I want photographs that feel timeless, but also alive. Images that look beautiful because the moment was meaningful, not the other way around.
