Alessandro Giraldi

Born in Rome on January 21, 1971, I chose photography as my profession at the age of 41, after 20 years as a computer scientist. At 16, I assisted my father, an avid amateur photographer, both in the shooting and in the darkroom. Then, life took me away from photography, only to rediscover it at the age of 40 when I met a dear colleague, or rather, friend, with whom I ran a photography studio for five years. Then our paths diverged, and I opened a new photography studio and a center where I teach photography. Thanks both to my in-depth study (conducted for teaching) of what photography really is (and therefore what it means to be a photographer), and to my study of the great photographers of the past, I embarked on a path of photographic research that led me to attempt to become an artistic photographer. With time, I hope to succeed fully.

I'm a self-taught photographer, but I learned to be a photographer through constant study with the goal of teaching photography. I've been doing this (since 2015), with great passion, at various training centers in Rome.

My photographic work is characterized by a strong research component, which leads me to explore new visual languages ​​and experiment with mixing photographic techniques and technologies.

I'm a member of TAU - National Association of Professional Photographers.
