Mia Visual Studio is the brainchild of Federica Trotta and Danilo Falà, whose collaboration has laid the foundation for a unique creative workspace - a truly innovative studio for photographers working in fashion, interior design, portraits, reportage, as well as for stylists, make-up artists and videographers.

MIA is an unparalleled agency for partnering with top Italian and international magazines, designers and advertising agencies, and the ideal showcase from which contemporary artists can share their vision with the world.

Danilo’s passion and innate creativity fuels his ongoing search for new inspiration in fashion and is clearly present in the style with which he chooses to shoot his subjects. This flare for style also led him to accept a role as Associate Editor of the fashion magazine MIA LeJournal, a magazine that delves into the notion of intimacy as a condition of unique physical and emotional closeness of human beings and its affectivity. Living in Rome and immersing himself on a daily basis in its mix of old and new gives him the creative spark needed to find the right inspiration to successfully capture his clients’ briefs.

She works with national and international agencies, and her images have been published in worldwide magazine such as Vogue Japan, W Korea, Officiel Paris, Officiel Italia, Vanity Fair, Glamour Italia, Grazia, Gioia, Cosmopolitan and Elle.
