BIOGRAPHY
Giorgio Gatti was born in Turin in 1958 and began taking photographs at a very young age.
The early experiences begin with classical dance photography to arrive in the 90s, to humanist photography and subsequently to artistic photography.
His photographs, an archive of over 150,000 images, are the result of over 40 shots that led him to work in Milan, London, New York and Paris, the city that adopted him for several years.
His artistic works are included in several private collections.
His works are represented by the gallery: Fine-Art Images Gallery
"Backpack on his shoulders, camera around his neck and a curious eye; this is the portrait of Giorgio Gatti as he wanders through the streets of the city to capture the unexpected, the unusual, the “bizarre” of urban life intimately intersected with the human who inhabits it.
Black and whites of shadow and light softly blended into different shades of gray, natural light and a touch of often ironic lightheartedness characterize the images of this photographer."
Dominique Moran, critic and writer
Giorgio Gatti is a very sensitive volcano of ideas, a cultivator of his own omnivorous curiosity and when you walk with him through the streets of any city you understand how much he belongs to it and vice versa.
Picturesque city corners, romantic glimpses, spontaneous and sudden sketches that dance on a tightrope between irony and melancholy: this is what attracts his attention, this is what forces his faithful camera to shoot where other photographers wouldn't.
In short, Giorgio Gatti's gaze is as unique, ironic and delicate as it is cultured towards those who, camera in hand, have walked those same streets and alleys in the past, and all this makes him one of the protagonists of contemporary humanist photography.
