Avocado Studio was born from an idea of two classmates after having completed their degree in Visual Communication at IED Torino in 2015.

"Together, we had the need and the will to showcase our world through the creation of photographic images, composed primarily in the studio. When we are on set, we get completely transported by all the elements that compose the process, from the first flash that we set up to the final image that we shoot.

We have worked for clients on national and international scale, but also, because of our strong legacy with our hometown, we love collaborating with local start-ups and brands.

Everything starts from the urge to communicate something that we feel inside. The ability to amaze, enchant and transform what was just a sketch into a final image is what gives us the biggest satisfaction.

From 2021, our University, IED, ask us to teach. We are now Still Life Photography teachers in Visual Communication for the three year course and the master course."
