The Archivist
I photograph the moment just before or just after. The breath between two songs, the look someone gives when they forget the camera.
Born in Rome to Albanian parents, I moved to Zürich in 2019. Growing up between cultures taught me to notice what others walk past. I picked up the camera seriously in 2022 and haven’t put it down since.
On stage and in the crowd, I shoot festivals, club nights and live sets for labels and the artists behind them. Away from the noise, I make portraits of musicians and creatives, quiet and close, built around who they are rather than how they pose.
For brands and agencies I work on editorial stories and campaigns, from the first idea to the final frame: concept, set, casting and shoot. Because a single image is rarely enough anymore, I also film. Short reels, behind the scenes and monthly content that keeps a brand alive between campaigns.
Photo and video come from the same eye, so everything I deliver belongs together. Warm tones, real grain, a cinematic feel. Your project could be the next entry.
