  • 5/5 from Aliye Baram, attended Sep 2026: Greta was so kind and, as a beginner, I felt very guided and eveything was explained wonderfully!!
  • 5/5 from Ginevra Caon, attended May 2025: My experience during the class was truly positive. Greta, the teacher, was extremely helpful, always professional, and very patient. We had the opportunity to take photos of a model, who was kind and friendly, which helped create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. My favourite part was feeling supported and guided by Greta throughout the session. Her availability and attention made the class really special. There was a welcoming atmosphere, with great energy that made taking photos both inspiring and enjoyable. A special thank you to Greta for making it all possible, and to the sweet model. Definitely an experience to repeat!

Hi! I’m a fashion and portrait photographer based in London, originally from Italy. I specialise in capturing authentic emotions and telling powerful stories through images. With years of experience working with artists, actors, and brands, I’m passionate about helping people feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera — even those who think they’re not “photogenic.”
Photography is more than my job — it’s my way of living, connecting, and creating. I also teach photography and post-production both online and in-person, guiding aspiring creatives on how to turn their passion into a fulfilling full-time career.
My workshops are friendly, inspiring, and full of real-world tips. Whether you're just starting out or want to take your skills to the next level, I’ll help you discover your unique photographic voice and feel empowered every step of the way.
Let’s create something beautiful together!
