Simone Lisciani
Fashion photographers
Simone Lisciani's experience in photography was born in artistic research and this research still continues. Immediately after graduating from the J.Kaverdash Academy of Photography in Milan, he started to photograph at a professional level, only in fashion.
"If I have to be honest, what characterises me most, in addition to a high technical background and a great versatility, is the concrete ability to create a climate of empathy and trust with all the staff and in particular with the models. As I said before, I was born as an artist and still today these roots always lead me to safeguard a harmony in all my work. I am bored with beauty as an end in itself. I'm not looking for the artifact or a fake perfection, in fact I hate it. I want my shots to be real.
In recent times I have shot a photo campaign for a wedding dress designer using a view camera and a digital back. It was an incredible experience. I like to find the motivation and the challenge with myself every time I approach a new job. The world of wedding dress photography is something I recently discovered. It's something that comes incredibly close to high fashion."
