La fotografia diventa il mezzo per mostrare una realtà senza veli.
Lo sguardo di "uno dei fotografi di guerra più esperti e rispettati della sua generazione", come riporta il The New York Times, è irresistibilmente attratto dall’umano e dall’ordinario.
Le sue foto sono precise e prive di sentimentalismi, proprio come la chimica che un tempo insegnava.
La sua esperienza nelle zone di guerra influenza profondamente il suo approccio alla fotografia, rendendolo un testimone unico e sensibile della realtà contemporanea. Nato a Varese nel 1950. Studi di chimica, insegnamento universitario.1985 la svolta: dalle molecole alle immagini.Il New York Times lo ha definito “uno dei fotografi di guerra più esperti e rispettati della sua generazione”.Ex membro di VII Photo, ora parte della VII Foundation.Dal 2003 al 2008 è residente in Iraq per TIME. Ha vissuto il conflitto dall’interno, raccontando la guerra senza filtri.Accanto alla guerra, la moda. Ha firmato campagne per Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Nespresso, Barilla, San Pellegrino e Lancome. Sempre con lo stesso approccio: verità, empatia, rigore.Quando D&G lo scelse per raccontare Napoli, non volevano il glamour. Volevano la verità. Lo sguardo crudo, forgiato nei conflitti, ha portato il neorealismo nella moda.Ha lavorato nei luoghi più estremi: Africa, Iraq, Svalbard, campi profughi, backstage di sfilate. Sempre con lo stesso obiettivo: raccontare l’umano.Diretto, empatico, senza sentimentalismi, il suo sguardo non cambia: l’umanità al centro di tutto.Come la chimica che un tempo insegnava.
