Luigi Vigliotti

Luigi Vigliotti was born in L'Aquila, currently lives in Bologna (Italy). Since the early '80 he is membership of the Circolo Fotografico Bolognese, the oldest photographic club of Italy. Passionate traveler he has combined his own professional training as professional geologist with Ethnographic and Archaeological interests often concentrating his photographic research on tracing the footsteps of explorers and photographers of the past. Fond of Ethnography and Archaeology he has made several reportages in all the continents and his pictures have been published in magazines and books. In the past he has been represented by the agency "Panda Photo".
Interested in the interpretative possibilities of photography he revisited the analogic images through different manipulation techniques and in particular by the use of instant films (Polaroid) and one of his elaborations has been part of the “Polaroid Collection” in the United States.
With the advent of digital photography he started to investigate the opportunities offered by the manipulation of the digital images through the use of post-production processing programs (i.e. Photoshop, Lightroom, DxO, Arkvis).
