Photographer's Profile

Raffaele CANEPA

Italy

I was introduced to analog photography as a kid by my father and with ups and downs, I've fiddled with cameras since the young age. In 1993 I moved from Genova - where I was born in 1974 - to Milano to attend university; soon after my arrival in town I was involved in my first film production job, and at the end of my second year I quit economics to pursue a career in the film production industry. For almost 20 years I worked as a producer for TV shows and ADV and a director for broadcast and web documentaries and series; throughout this whole time, I regarded photography as a sort of visual sketchbook. It was around 10 years ago that I stepped into professional photography as a sport and landscape photographer on golf courses, and on those very locations I started exploring the reign of invisible light. At present day, Infrared Photography is at the heart of my work.
