Gabriel Piovanetti-Ferrer

studiopiovanetti is the photographic and curatorial platform for work by Gabriel Piovanetti-Ferrer, architect, image-maker and wanderer. Piovanetti’s method builds on years of training as a designer (formerly at Heatherwick Studio) during which he has developed a keen eye for spatial juxtapositions, exactitude of composition, and beauty; studiopiovanetti showcases work – whether portraiture, landscape or street photography – that moves beyond the functional plane towards one of timelessness and perpetual suggestiveness.

A London-based Puerto Rican whose project is global, Piovanetti’s roving lens is that of a nomad whose unique perspective forces the viewer to recalibrate their own take on the world. In our increasingly interconnected digital lives, believing that less is more, studiopiovanetti is an analogue space where we can slow down for a while, and take stock. Piovanetti works in film, most often with a Rolleiflex, and with every exposure reminds us of the power of classical forms to interpret current realities.
