The submarine, by Paolo Ciriello

Paolo Ciriello was born in Livorno in 1971. Since he was a child, playing with his father’s Nikkormat and his grandfather’s Rolleiflex, a local photographer, he creates pictures underexposed and backlighted. In 2009, at the age of 38, he decides to turn his passion into a profession, leaving his secure twenty-year job as a graphic artist to dedicate himself to photography. The good opportunity comes thanks to Paolo Virzì, who offers him the opportunity to photograph “The First Beautiful Thing.” The passion for the film set explodes definitively, and since that day he has documented over 40 different films and TV series, alternating scene photography with commercial and advertising work.
