About The Artist

Paolo Bongianino was born in Trivero, 1956, he lives in Milan, Italy, he is married with two children. He received his first camera in the early sixties, since then he never gave up looking at the world around him through the lens of his camera with curiosity and attention. After a career in management he decided, also considering the economic downturn Italy has been suffering in the last decade, to devote his time to photography and fine art prints. All his works are printed only in fine art ink jet printing in limited edition on top quality cotton paper, the only exception being the “mini fine art prints”, A4 prints on cotton paper without quantity limitation. In his opinion “the image only is not enough, it must somehow move the imagination of the viewer and emotion him: only in this way I can say I reached my target when I shot. This contemporaneity does not always happen, but it happens even more often than I can imagine. Image and emotion: this is the summary of my approach to photography.” “immaginiedemozioni”, “images&emotions” is the brand name chosen by Paolo Bongianino for presenting his works on Facebook and on the internet (www.immaginiedemozioni.it”) where all contact details are available.
