Simona was born in Prato in 1967 and is currently working in the e-commerce field, in the sale of military clothing. It was only in 2000 that Simona discovered her new passion for photography thanks to her reflex, which lead her to see things that are impossible to see without a camera filter. She attended courses in photography, post production, and a photo workshop in New York, organised by Bolognese photographer Lago Corazza. She continued with courses on the history of photography, and in 2015, she won first prize at a photography competition organised by the "Campagna d’Arte Atto Zero".

Simona nasce a Prato nel 1967 e lavora attualmente nel campo dell’e-commerce, per la precisione nella vendita di abbigliamento militare. Solo nel 2000 Simona scopre la sua nuova passione per la fotografia grazie alla sua reflex, che la porta a vedere qualcosa che è impossibile scorgere senza il filtro di una macchina fotografica. Frequenta corsi di fotografia, post produzione e un workshop fotografico a New York, organizzato dal fotografo bolognese Iago Corazza. Prosegue con corsi di storia della fotografia, fino a vincere il primo premio, nel 2015, al concorso fotografico organizzato per la “Campagna d’Arte Atto Zero”.
