Humanity loving photographer, Lorenzo Pesce is an incredibly versatile author that maintains his own personal vision whether shooting a portrait, a documentary assignment, or even an advertising campaign. Eye-opening workshop instructor and proud father of three, for him photogaphy is more than just work, is a crucial part his existence.
As an Author and a Commercial artist , Lorenzo Pesce has always focused on emotions and how to convey them. Emotions are the imaginary and stylistic glue that keeps together his personal and commercial vision.
Photographs are summaries of internal and external aspects of the relationship between subjects and the sourrandings, starting from the lighting arriving to the color spectrum, and the body language.
From a phylosophical stand point, Lorenzo Pesce has always been fascinated by relations among humans and the ephemeral aspects of being alive. In his mind, we are all passangers and actors of the commedy of life and we all deserve the same dignity.
That's why Lorenzo Pesce focuses on portraiture without ever changing his approach whether he is photographing a celebrity or a real life people.
Lorenzo Pesce studied at the Art Center college of Design in Pasadena and grew up (photographically speaking) between New York, Los Angeles and London.
Lorenzo Pesce has worked with such clients as Grey SanFrancisco, Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo, Action Aid, Alitalia, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Conde Nast Traveller, Departures, Enel, ENI, Fastweb, Mulino Bianco, Rubelli, Saatchi & Saatchi, oral B, Samsung, Saveur, Stern, TIM, Travel and Leisure, Vogue, Norton by symantec, Notorious Pictures and many others.
