restyling the world, one project at a time
Fondazione Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze
For about 4 months I was hired as lead photographer to digitize a huge collection of artistic masterpieces from a large amount of important painters (Giotto, Vasari, Lippi and Annigoni among the others).
Some of them were so large we had to take about 60~90 pictures to stitch and postprocess them in a second time in order to reach the desired quality. We also had to face problems with golden frames, cracked canvasses, different materials, embossings, etc. but we managed to solve them all brilliantly. And within the deadline!
Please note that new projects will be published very soon, along with the new website. Among them you'll find my works for JP Morgan, Campbell, Legg Mason, BNY Mellon...
