AUTHOR: Giuseppe Volpe (Italy)

Born in the south of Italy, I studied cinema and journalism and then I moved to France where I began to work in video editing. I fell in love with photography the last 5 years realizing thousands of pictures of Paris, Rome and other city where I lived and visited for travel. I have changed my life to work full-time as a sport photographer. For my personal work I choose to shoot in black and white, digital or film, for the different meaning that lights and shadows give to the subjects. I work to mix my passion for cinema (specially Italian Neorealismo and French Realism) with my journalistic studies in order to create a personal street photgraphy style. My aim is to frame the world around me without any kind of judgment but full empathy with peolple's lives.
