Paolo was born and raised in Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy. After several years as an assistant, he began his own career as a freelance photographer in editorial and advertising.

Paolo specialises in so-called "environmental portraits", he uses the surroundings of the subject to enhance the portrait. The result are images that tell a story about the person - authentic and alive. He has worked for many different clients in Switzerland and has carried out productions throughout Europe.

Paolo is a member of the association VFG (Vereinigung Fotografischer Gestalterinnen) and the photo agency, 13Photo. His photo studio is in Zurich.

Some of his clients include Bank Lombard Odier & Co, Cosa Travel, Flaschenpost Services, Migrolino, Skyguide, Tonhalle Orchester Zürich and UBS.
