So, why did I become a photographer? My inspiration comes from the many lively and vibrant gatherings hosted by my big Latin-American family. As an introvert who is not much of a dancer, I gravitated towards observing everyone else. There is something fascinating about watching people who are in their element, letting go without any worries in the world. Do they know what they look like when they're at their happiest? 14-year old Piero started striving to capture those carefree moments on film.
10 years later, after studying photography at the State University of NY, I had the opportunity to work on my first wedding. Happiness was just one of the many emotions on strong display throughout the day and my job became not only more challenging, but more rewarding. Since then, another decade has passed doing what I enjoy most in life, capturing the most important day of happy couples' lives through my art.

My photography style is both creative and documentary— my goal is for my photos to encapsulate a special moment that tells a deeper story. I draw a lot of inspiration from the unique atmosphere and energy that comes with each individual wedding— the quirks of the couple, the venue, the weather, the guests’ reactions, and all the little details. I believe in being a silent observer, blending seamlessly into the background, allowing events to evolve naturally and without intrusion. This approach enables me to capture the most intimate and genuine moments, without disrupting the flow of the occasion.
Another key aspect of my work philosophy is that I prioritize the use of natural light whenever possible. I embrace the beauty and nuances that natural lighting brings to a scene, allowing it to shape and enhance the people and their surroundings while maintaining the natural atmosphere of the moment. This means that my reliance on flash is minimal, and I only resort to its use when absolutely necessary.
