He was born in 1964 in Luxembourg and became passionate about photography from the age of 6 when his mother offers him a Pocket Kodak.

After graduate studies in Brussels at the National Institute of Photography and Cinematography, he joined Gamma Agency in 1989, which virtuously embodies photojournalism.

Emanuele publishes images around the world and collaborates with many magazines.

He keeps the visual chronicle of the human condition and at the same time follows the personalities emblematic of cinema, fashion and French song.

He creates his own language, imbued with delicacy and reflection, does not seek the sensational, and tries to perceive, through his encounters, the invisible and sometimes even the wrong side of setting (s). This is how he photographs beautiful backstage for Chanel and Gucci as well as major international events.

In 2002, in Cannes, he made a report on Sharon Stone who is a member of the jury. Thanks to this last, he receives the "World Press Award", category Arts and Culture, representing the actress on the carpet red of the Palais des Festivals.

In 2009, he photographed the world of the Grand Prix Qatar Arc de Triomphe and discovered on this occasion the world of racehorses. France Galop will then order a work to be exposed to the Deauville Racecourse during the 150th anniversary of the City.

The same year, Emanuele leaves Gamma Agency and decides to become independent in order to be able to develop personal work and raise public awareness on topics that are important to him.

In 2010, forty years after Henri Cartier-Bresson, the magazine "ELLE" asked him to cover "Les general states of the woman. The magazine dedicated a special issue published in May and organized an exhibition at Sciences Politique Paris.
