Settimio Benedusi

Milan

Born on the shores of the Mediterranean, Settimio Benedusi has always found the sea to be his primary source of inspiration, while the photography related to it is constantly at the centre of his productions.

In 2003 he was the only Italian to be asked to join the highly select circle of photographers participating in the special swimwear edition of Sports Illustrated SA. During this seven-year collaboration, Settimio travelled to some of the most exotic places in the world, from Bali to the Seychelles, Malaysia to Zanzibar, immortalising the most celebrated and famous models.

Based on the same format, in 2011 he launched the special swimwear edition of Sportweek Dreams magazine in Italy, handling the entire development and production process. The publication's success is such that a lingerie edition is planned for this coming winter, while at present a summer 2012 edition is in production.

Settimio has also completed numerous advertising productions for fashion brands including Fisico, Oroblu, Pin Up, VDP, Lovable, Valery, and many more.
