GIOVANNI CAPRIOTTI

was born in Rome 1972. After attending high school he moved to Amsterdam and then to London where he got in touch with the early club scene. Being surrounded by such a creative phenomenon allowed him to find out his artistic side both in the music and visual art fields.
Passion for photography has always been part of his life, although in the beginnig he could not afford to buy a professional camera or one deserving to be called so. He honed his technique and eye for composition by shooting with toy cameras, polaroids and an old 6mm Yashica found by his Granny at the hotel where she used to work. Giovanni's style, developed in those early days, is strongly influenced by the urban enviroments, and the street and club cultures in which he grew up.

After returning to Italy Giovanni was employed by an airline, which increased his chances to travel and discover new places. These new travel adventures fostered a growing love for nature and the enviroment, mingled with his raw urban background, generates a transcultural style fully representing his 'always in motion' attitude.
Giovanni is currently residing and freelancing in Toronto.
