About me

If you are here, you would probably know something more about me.

My name is Simone Lucarelli, born in Monza (Milan) in 1975 , grown up in Viareggio, Tuscany where I lives until 2002, when I came back to Milan, where I currently live.

I joined photography quite late in my life but it's been really love at first sight.

Finally I found a way to express my curiosity and my instinct to see always things from a different point of view. Despite what it seems, I am a little bit shy, so I definitely prefer my pictures to speak in my place.

Travelling, fishing and cooking are my beloved passions.

But basketball deserves a special place, especially when I had the opportunity to join it with photography. 

During the last 8 years I collaborated with some online basketball websites, mainly covering italian basketball team Olimpia Milano.

In 2018, I joined - as sport photographer - a Milan based Photo Agency which serves the main Italian newspapers and magazines, also covering European newspapers and magazines through IPA (Indipendent Photo Agency).

Since 2022, I am member of Italian Journalist Association as contributor.

I hope you will enjoy my pictures and I wish you to feel - even partly - the emotions I felt while I was taking them.
