I was born in 1980, Turin, Italy and I live and work mainly in New York, Turin
and Bologna. I have a degree in Philosophy produced a thesis on the relation
between Time and Photography (worked on with the famous Italian critic and
photography historian Claudio Marra). I
began taking photographs after receiving a camera from my grandfather who bought
it on the occasion of my birth. He was a photographer, but unfortunately he
died few months later. I still use this camera for the most important artworks
I make. It
quickly became a passion and now I work as an artist, a still photographer for
movies and a professional photographer in general. I also teach photography
in courses and workshops. As
an artist I've exhibited my work in more than 40 solo and group shows around the
world. I have been published on many reviews and newspapers. I have been published
the book about people with mental desease "Nonostante la vostra cortese ospitalità.
Fotografia e disagio mentale oggi", editrice Quinlan. As
a still photographer I worked in about 15 movies, working with most of the famous
italian actors and directors, such as Isabella Rossellini, Giancarlo Giannini,
Giuliano Montaldo, Saverio Costanzo, Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher,
Francesco Scianna, Margherita Buy, Carolina Crescentini, Fabio Volo, Luciana
Littizzetto, Ficarra & Picone, Anita Caprioli, Giuseppe Battiston. As
a teacher I taught in many courses and workshop, in photographic and art schools.
I developed a workshop with mentally ill people. I
am represented by the Claudio Bottello Contemporary Gallery, located in Turin,
Italy. |
