Giovanni Santarelli developed a profound bond with the art of photography at a young age. His passion eventually led him to move to Milan, where he soon began collaborating with major advertising agencies and national and international magazines from London, Paris, Dubai, Japan, Austria, Sweden, Spain, Russia and beyond.

Giovanni is a regular contributor to numerous Italian and Japanese magazines including The Rake, Men’s Club, GQ and Esquire. He is also co-author, photographer and art director for the online magazine Monsieurbespoke.

In December 2016, his work was shown at the contemporary art exhibition 'Valori di Continuità' at the Mentana Art Gallery in Florence. In April 2017, he exhibited at the Crypt Gallery London. His work pivots primarily around a constant investigation of the perennial conflict between purity and the decadence of human existence.

Giovanni's work is particularly appreciated for to his unique ability to create images that convey intense emotions, whether in figurative or in apparently inanimate subjects.

"Viewed as a whole, Andrea Varani's photos make us think of an album that a distinguished explorer continues to add to over the years, with images of trips to spectacular, at times remote places in the company of wonderous creatures.

They are portraits of landscapes in tones that are both icy and intimate, at the same time far removed yet similar in style, reminiscent of a documentary by Wenders who entrusts Irving Penn and other masters of the 20th century with the role of director of photography.

Places so geographically distant that only the constant search for beauty (that never breaks out into ostentation), can bring so intimately close together.

Thousands of miles flown each year, meticulous, frenetic organisation, frequent changes of programme, and finally, arrival in the most disparate landscapes with their alternating seasons, in order to capture beauty in a brief moment, and then return it with calm wonder. Fashion that is worn, interpreted at times with alienated postures, at others with bemused participation, becomes the cause and effect of every shot and every journey."

Paolo Cecchin’s studio is based in Milan. He's always wanted to be a painter, and this is perhaps one of the reasons he personally retouches all the images he produces. Another is his ability to control each stage of the workflow with great precision.

Fascinated by the concept of light, Paolo starts from a black canvas where light sculpts the story through contrast and shadow. This comes from his love of nature and sometimes as a result of hanging off the side of a mountain watching the horizon. Photography grants him a way to reconcile his passion for creativity, energy, adventure and storytelling.
