Massimo Vitali
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Massimo Vitali was born in Como, Italy in 1944. Vitali studied photography in London; he first worked as a photojournalist in the 1970s and then worked later as a movie camera operator. His more recent work can be considered as fine-art photography.
Vitali's chosen perspective for some of his works is from a podium (four or five meters high), with the use of large-format film cameras which are used to capture high-resolution details over a broad expanse in everyday scenes such as beaches.
