Biography
From birth to present
Born in 1981, Massimiliano Sticca is a photographer based in Turin and Milan.
The approach to photography occurs early: at 14 he takes his first pictures with his father’s Nikon F401. Thanks to his family’s passion for travel, he visits much of Europe, Africa, the United States, India and Southeast Asia observing the world through the lens.
Photography will soon become his profession.
He’s specialized in events, food, corporate and interior architecture, but he never forgets the passion for the wildlife’s photography.
He also teaches for Nikon School in workshops and photography courses.
