About Me

Hi, I’m Francesca

I’m an Hybrid citizen

I’m an experienced photographer in the industry since 2014 and my passion and dedication refined my technique and my vision of photography. My work has been featured in Vogue and in Wedding Fearless photographers. I’m also an award winning photographer in important contexts like Fearless Photographers. and This is Reportage . I’m proud that my work is also published in on the Historic England Archive Website where one of my photos was selected in the collection “Picturing Lockdown” during the pandemic in 2020

I’m 100% Italian and moved to the UK in 2002. Over the years, I’ve come to feel like a hybrid citizen, blending Italian and English cultures.

I live in Beckenham (South London) with my husband—also Italian—our two children and my lovely cat.

One thing I’ll never lose from my Italian roots is my love for food. In my home, there’s always a handmade dinner served on a properly set table. I’m very traditional in this sense and love the idea of everyone spending time around a table with food and drink.

A Touch of Italy

One thing I’ll never lose from my Italian roots is my love for food. In my home, there’s always handmade food awaiting to be eaten.

We also have a cat, Tina, who is the Queen of the house.

The aesthetic we love

Sports

I can’t imagine life without it! My husband and I love challenging ourselves with marathon adventures around Europe—until we can’t anymore!

Cinema

I adore films, especially historic ones. Some of my favorites are The Lives of Others, La Vita è Bella, or Schindler’s List. Also I swear, Poor Things, Stand by me, Requiem of a dream, and so many more!!

Art & Creativity

Music, art exhibitions, and anything creative make me feel alive and inspired.

Street Photography

I’m passionate about street photography and have built a growing collection of books by photographers like Pau Buscato, Vineet Vohra, and Matt Stuart. Their work’s humor and depth captivate me. I’ve also started my own Instagram account for street photography: @piccolino_street. I only wish I had more time to dedicate to it!

A Glimpse into my life

At the heart of everything I do, I’m driven by creativity, tradition, and the joy of storytelling—whether it’s through my wedding photography or the moments I capture on the streets.
