Lorenzo Pesce creates images that combine a natural wild beauty with a classic elegance, adopting a different approach for each project.
Lorenzo is an incredibly versatile photographer that maintains his own personal vision whether shooting a portrait, a fashion story, a travel assignment or even an advertising campaign.
An Art Center alumnus, Pesce grew up (photographically speaking) between New York, Los Angeles and London.
When he returned to Italy, he joined Contrasto, one of Italy’s most prestigious agencies. His work has been published on numerous magazines and he took part in a number of projects.
Lorenzo has worked with such clients as Grey SanFrancisco, Action Aid, Alitalia, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Conde Nast Traveller, Departures, Enel, ENI, Fastweb, Mulino Bianco, Rubelli, Saatchi & Saatchi, Salmoiraghi&Viganò, Samsung, Saveur, Stern, TIM, Travel and Leisure, Vogue, Norton by symantec and many others.
He now teaches two classes at IED and runs a master class on portraiture in Bologna at Spazio Labò.
Nomadic by nature and proud father of three daughters, Lorenzo spends most of his time between Rome, Milan and Berlin.
