Madison, WI photographer & artist

Hi, can I take your picture? Yeah, that’s how we might have met, I’m sorry (not really) but I can’t help it.

My name is Flavia and I’m a portrait, children and family photographer who embraces both a documentary approach to my subjects, and experimental techniques on the medium. 

I was born in France, and grew up all around the world, but mostly in Italy and France. I met my husband in Paris and together we moved again halfway across the world, had two beautiful children, and finally settled down in Madison, Wisconsin – to be honest though, there’s often some luggage half-packed somewhere in the house…

My subjects always feature some form of human presence, and that’s because I’m fascinated by people, faces, activities, how we live, how we interact, how we love. I chase emotions, letting go of perfection, and embracing the unpredictable.

I shoot mostly on film, because the process and the very physical aspect of the medium fit my interests, and also because it produces photographs that feel timeless and that aren’t meant to simply live as digital file.
