Francesco Amorosino

Born in 1984, he grew up in Rionero in Vulture, in southern Italy. He lives in Rome where he works as a photographer, journalist and photo guide and teaches photography classes for adults and children. He is the owner of il FotoStudio, a photographic studio where he also organizes exhibitions and courses. He teaches at the Centro Romano di Fotografia e di Cinema. He obtained a three-year master’s degree in photography in Rome at the Scuola Romana di Fotografia (now Centro Romano di Fotografia e di Cinema) and a two-year master’s degree in Journalism at the Università della Basilicata. Most of his personal projects deal with the question of what is and what is not real, or better, what people think is or is not real. Superstitions, religions, conspiracies, freedom and rights: these are some of the topics of his research.

He is also interested in seeing how these subjects relate to specific territories, moving along the borders of documentary photography. He is the winner of the 2016 Sony World Photography Awards in the Still Life category. In May 2015 I won an artist residency in Northern Italy with Magnum photographer Alex Webb to document the Langhe area and there the “Il Libro del Comando” project began.

This work (Fantastic Voyage) was among the finalists for the 2015 Lensculture Visual Storytelling Awards. The mannequin in the book was among the finalists for the Cortona Mannequin on the Move award; DOCfield dummy prize Fundació Banco Sabadell; Mannequin Prize of the Vienna Photobook Festival. In 2013 I won the “Open Your Books” prize for the best self-published book at Sifest in Savignano sul Rubicone with the dummy of “The Guide to Rome for Terrorists” and in 2015 with a new updated dummy it was among the finalists of the Unseen Dummy Book Award in Amsterdam and among those in the Call for Books Award at Encontros da Imagem in Braga, Portugal. He has also participated in several exhibitions not only with his photos but also with his drawings, paintings and sculptures. Recently he is experimenting with video art and AudioVisual Live Performance thanks to the collaboration with composers and musicians.
