Professional biography
Alessandro D'Angelo is an Italian freelance photographer. Born in a small town in central Italy to his parents, Giovanna and Angelo, he began taking photographs with his father's old camera after completing his artistic studies.
His photography focuses on stories about what people do for passion, for the joy of life, for the spirit of adventure or for love, despite the difficulties and uncertainties of life. For him, it could be a climb to Mount Everest or living for Saturday night fever: there is no difference.
He works as a freelancer for various magazines and websites and collaborates with an advertising studio and an NGO. His work has been published in GEO, WIRED, Gestalten, Dodho, GUP and many others.
He has received awards from PDN, the Kuala Lumpur Photography Awards, the Sony World Photography Awards and others.
