The Photographer

Two decades behind the lens

Antonio is a commercial photographer with over two decades of experience. Most of his clients come from the hospitality and travel industry. Still, he has worked with brands such as Cartier, Crate & Barrel, and Estee Lauder. He has also shot worldwide campaigns for major brands. Most recently, the Qatar Airways campaign for the World Cup in Doha. Antonio is the go-to photographer for many luxury hotels and resorts and enjoys covering all aspects of hospitality. His clients rave about his artistic versatility and ability to excel in styles like Architecture & Interiors, Lifestyle and Food & Beverage. Antonio has also ventured into video production. He is a licensed drone operator and now includes videos with most of his productions.

Antonio’s success story is not just about his technical prowess, but also his collaborative spirit. He has forged partnerships with creative directors and brand marketers worldwide, breathing life into their visions. Whether it’s executing a marketing brief or co-creating innovative concepts, Antonio’s adaptability and openness are his hallmarks, earning him the trust and respect of his clients. Antonio’s technical photographic skills have not only earned him a stellar reputation but also industry recognition. Photography equipment manufacturers often seek his insights, inviting him as a panellist. Antonio also shares his expertise through his advanced Architectural Photography Workshops at Maine Media Workshops, solidifying his position as an authority in the field.

Due to his extensive travel and knowledge of the industry, he is a guest judge for LTG alongside Travel Channel TV host Anthony Melchiorri from Hotel Impossible and Shane Green, host of the TV show Resort Rescue. When Antonio is not travelling the world with his camera or spending time with his family, you will most likely catch him training Brazilian jiu-jitsu. A competitive sport he has been doing for over 20 years, and he now holds a fourth-degree black belt.
