| Still Lifes by Alessandro Simonetti |
Developing his own distinct photographic language reflects his deep interest in young niche cultures. Quite often each project stretches beyond the photographic medium which serves as a sign of his maturing expression as an artist. After his graduation from the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice in 2001, he became a professor of Photography at The Institute of Arts in Padova, Italy.
His works have been published in important national and international magazines such as Rolling Stone, GQ, and Tema Celeste. He has also collaborated with brands such as Carhartt WIP, Zoo York, Diesel, Lee, Bijules, Redbull, Evisu, Sartoria communication and Slam Jam.

2 - REVS 200 pounds concrete and metal sculpture. Its probably the piece of art that i'm more attached to.
3 - Cuban horseshoe.
4 - If I have to pick just one camera between the many i've I would choose her. Amazing shape, smooth and straight to the point.
5 - My most worn teeshirt since ever. Its felling apart.
6 - Old italian train map. I used to be obsessed by trains.
7 - My pharaoh's treasure.
