Paolo Pizzimenti was born 57 years ago, so, yes he is no longer a young man, but maybe a little wiser than yesterday and always with an eye to life on the street.

 

Paolo started taking pictures at the age of 14 and will never stop while his eyes still have the pleasure of hunting….He has been defined as a « humanist photographer » as he likes to freeze the ordinary life of people he meets on his way.
He empathises with his subjects and always tries to involve them in his shots.
The pictures he takes are never contrived but are always spontaneous as the life they portray.
Paolo likes to tell short stories wherever he shoots.
He doesn’t like to take pictures of people suffering as nowadays it is so easy to do. He likes to take the beauty of ordinary days….
