THE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Stefania Beretta lives and works at Verscio (Switzerland). She began exhibiting in 1985. In 1994, she spent six months at the Cité Internazionale des Arts in Paris; the result of this experience was the publication in 1997 of Paris noir by the Pagine d’arte magazine, Lugano-Milan. In 1995, she won first prize for photography from the STBA Switzerland for her artistic work . In 1998, she was invited by the Europos Parkas Cultural Centre of Vilnius, Lithuania, to effect a personal work. In this same year, she received a federal scholarship from the Gleyre Foundation (Switzerland). In 2000, the trans photographic press publishing house of Paris published her book, Rooms. This was followed in 2002 by another volume, Trop, and in 2006 by In Memoriam. In 2004, the SRG SSR Idée Suisse realised Photosuisse in collaboration with the Switzerland Foundation for Photography; this was a film-portrait accompanied by an important publication by 28 Swiss photographers. In 2005, she received a scholarship from Landis&Gyr for a six-month residence in London. In 2009, the Fondazione Bogliasco, Centro Studi Ligure per le Arti e le Lettere awarded her a scholarship in applied arts. In 2001, together with internationally-acclaimed photographers, she was invited to participate in the Eyes on Paris exhibition at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg. She regularly exhibits in Switzerland and elsewhere in Europe. Her photographs may be found in public and private collections.

Andrea Jemolo (Rome, 1957) is considered one of the leading Italian photographers of architecture.

His photographs may be found in the collections of the MAXXI and of the Fondazione Unicredit.

For Casabella and other leading architectural magazines, he has photographed the works of great contemporary architects, such as Ludovico Quaroni and Luisa Anversa, Vittorio De Feo, Renzo Piano, Tadao Ando, Richard Meier, Sandro Anselmi and Zaha Hadid.

He has effected photographic campaigns about Michelangelo, Ligorio, Vignola and Maderno, published by Electa, Skira, Koenemann and Taschen.

Mario Ciampi (Florence, 1951) is a graduate of architecture. At the start of the 1980s, he decided to dedicate himself to photographing architecture and interiors especially. He has worked for Casa Vogue, Casamica, Case da Abitare and Casa Vogue Antiques. For Sotheby’s, he effected the photographic documentation of the interiors of important historic homes before the sale of their contents.

The desire for a broader audience for his images led him in 2003 to open a publishing house in London called Verba Volant. He produced about 20 books for the publishing house, mainly concerning the hime, garden and contemporary art. Among these are two volumes on classic Italian interiors and a book resulting from the visit to about 50 contemporary Chinese artists and the documentation of their places of work. Since 2009, he has documented new shops for the Prada group, photographing about 80 shops around the world.

Since 2012, he has also been involved in the press campaigns of the Flexform sofa company.

Peter Vanderwarker (1947) is a photographer specialising in architecture and a resident of Boston.

His work has been published in books and international magazines.

A great traveller, he has held exhibitions throughout the world. Among the most recent are those of New York   and Boston. He is currently planning some photographic services in Africa (Rwanda) and China (Hangzhou).

His work has had the support of the National Endowment for the Arts and of the Graham Foundation and has  won the Institute Honors from the American Institute of Architects.

Lewis Bush (London, 1988) is a photographer, writer and teacher. Originally trained as a historian at the University of Warwick, he worked in public health before retraining as a photographer. He studied on the master’s degree program in documentary photography at the London College of Communication. He has since gone on to teach photography there and at other institutions in the United Kingdom. At the same time he develops his own personal photography practice, and writes extensively on the medium’s history and its contemporary use. Alongside these projects he works commercially with a number of clients in the heritage, cultural and education sectors. 

Aline Perier lives and works in Lyon.

This eclectic and versatile photographer - she likes to refer to herself as being more “off-road” – began working at age 25 following a reporter among the nomad tribes of Niger. This was the first of many journeys for Aline Perier. She prefers big open spaces like Alaska, the Sahara and Australia. Aline’s photography is natural and instinctive not overly sophisticated or full of flourishes. She takes inspiration from the works of Cartier Bresson and Salgado, embracing day-to-day life in all of its various facets - from travel to design to architecture to gastronomy (her great passion). Her work has been featured in many publications and she has worked with all kinds of specialized publications. Her works have been shown in various personal and collective shows in France and abroad. 

Roberto Mascaroni lives and works in Milan. He began his photographic career at the historic Foto Saporetti agency, renowned among art galleries and artists. He has collaborated with numerous contemporary artists, such as Kengiro Azuma, Guttuso, Franco Francese, Lazzaro, Ettore Sottsass and Roberto Sambonet. He has also been commissioned by various civic museums, such as Castello Sforzesco, Museo di Milano, Museo del Risorgimento, Museo della Scala and GAM. As a result, he inevitably developed a passion for art and its manifold expressions, particularly for photography’s realistic and surrealist “impressions.” The seemingly cold and bloodless details of daily life, like an office, a cigarette butt, or a crack in the wall, take on spiritual meaning and every face and body is imbued with magnetic charm.

Hufton + Crow are dedicated to creating inspiring and striking photographs of contemporary interior and exterior architecture around the world.

As two experienced photographers with complementary skills and competitive characters they offer a unique service because they work as a team – either both simultaneously photographing one project, or by each providing input, critiques and direction of the others work. The outcome is a passionate attention to detail, the most creative approach possible and a reliable and professional service. Above all, it results in beautiful photographs that show buildings at their best – images that describe architecture within the built environment.

Vincent Boutin (b. 1979) is a graphic designer, photographer and owner of a visual communications agency in Albi, France. A graduate in art history, he specialized in architectural photography, but prefers to define himself simply as a photographer, tout court. As a graphic designer he primarily manages visual identity for companies. He is very interested in the concept of interdisciplinarity, and works in France and abroad for a wide variety of clients, including architects, cultural associations and institutions, tour agencies and wine and food specialists.
