Alessandro Camaioni

Alessandro Camaioni is an Italian photographer, a traveller and a full time brand strategist.
His passion for photography started 8 years ago, when he attended his first photographic course with a well known portraits’ photographer, to then explore the multiple uses of a camera himself and improving his technique by attending several Nikon photography courses.

His work is highly influenced by his experience as a marketing professional, which has grown his sensitivity to the ironic dissonances of today’s world.
His life and heart divided between London and Milan, he is a curious and relentless observer, and a passionate visual storyteller.

LEFT BEHIND, his forthcoming exhibition (Jeannie Avent Gallery, 20th - 27th July “016, London), offers a new perspective, both ironic and melancholic, on the different speeds of the world, aiming to draw the viewer’s attention on what is used and “left behind”.

The exhibition is a reflection on how the world looks at those 'disturbing' elements altering the glossy, polished image that Western countries spent the last century building and marketing, both to themselves and to the rest of the planet.

Alessandro's work pays a tribute to loneliness, and in it he finds a melancholic beauty and a bitter irony most people refuse to see: the solemn perfection of an abandoned factory, once symbol of Italy's 60s economic miracle and now reduced to a fragile shelter for lost souls, the ignored sleep of a clochard in the streets of London, the ghostly and apocalyptical architecture of an old asylum are examples of what populates the photographs of “Left Behind”.

The collection showcases experiences from various parts of the world and has the ambition to bring attention to subjects and places our society prefers to forget and hide.
