Francesco is a Florentine photographer. Born in 1990, he studied Communication and Journalism at the University of Florence. He is currently working for some local newspapers and collaborating on the Alzheimer project promoted by the Opera Santa Maria del Duomo of Florence. Some of his pictures have been published in Sony Italia, Corriere Fiorentino and in the competition section of the National Geographic (“Luoghi e Paesaggi”, 2015; international competition “Emotions”-second place in Landscape category-).

Francesco participated in some collective exhibitions, such as “Mnemosine” project (Palazzina Uzielli and Circolo Petroio, Vinci, 2017) and “La Strada, La Vita, L’Amore” (Darkroom Gallery, Bologna, 2017). He has recently held a solo exhibition in Castelfiorentino.

His pictures range from reportage to street photography, photojournalism, portraits and landscapes.

A fil rouge can be identified among his heterogeneous works: through photography, mainly black-and-white, he seizes the moment, that moment when everything stops. It doesn’t happen by chance, as his photos capture movements, gazes, gestures, shadows, balanced and contrasting lights. Francesco captures emotions and feelings which usually flow, change and fade in our liquid modernity.
