Gianluigi AKA (Gian or Gianlu) was born in Naples in 1981. After completing his studies in Clinical Psychology at the University of Florence, he began working in financial consulting for affluent clients. However, his true passion lies in analog photography. Moving to Tuscany in the early 2000s, he lived between Florence and its surrounding areas, where he developed a parallel career as a photographer and printer. Gianlu’s connection to photography dates back to his childhood, influenced by his father’s appreciation for salt prints. This early exposure sparked a deep, refined interest in the art form. His work focuses mainly on portraiture and urban architecture. He values human connection, even brief encounters, cherishing the exchange that occurs when printing together. Beyond creating art, Gian shares his knowledge through photography workshops in Florence and Empoli, where he teaches portraiture and darkroom techniques. These courses aim not only to impart high-quality craftsmanship but also to foster authentic connections among participants, making photography a means of personal expression and community building.
