About Paolo MAZZANTI

I live 2 minutes from the sea. I spend my life taking pictures for spaces and exclusive people.

(Pesaro ITALY, 1959)

Paolo Mazzanti is an Italian photographer and artist,
dedicated himself to artistic photography after studying at the University of Architecture in Florence.
He lives 2 minutes walk from the sea.
He spends his life making images for unique people and places.

Usual cities:
Pesaro-Urbino Roma Firenze Torino Milano Venezia
Londra Parigi Zurigo Basilea New York Los Angeles Hong Kong

Mazzanti, after his scientific diploma, enrolls in the Faculty of Architecture of Florence where he attends the Theory of the Photography in Architecture course. This is what brought him to fully devote himself to photography.
A professionist since 1979, he is hired so many times he could dedicate himself to so many different styles of photography thanks to a well organized studio.
He is usually preferred for photographing “what cannot be seen or move” of subjects that are not for everybody, but for a few selected customers.
At the end of the second millennium he shuts the studio down - a technologically advanced one, even thanks to the remotely controlled Broncolor’s - and he begins his artistic career with about 70 international exhibitions in the first 10 years, spacing from the USA to China.
He manages unconventional projects, intended for enthusiasts.
Avant-garde pioneer, he carries on an independent research.
