Alessandro Giampaoli was born in Pesaro in 1972.
After classical studies and working in different roles within the publishing sector, he began his research in the field of visual arts, applying himself to drawing and painting until he discovered the camera. His experience of painting is still a significant influence in his way of interpreting and conceiving the photographic shot. After graduating from the Fine Arts Academy in Urbino Giampaoli intensified his activities, experimenting in new techniques for his artistic production.
During the following years he lived in Milan, where he ended his formative path at the European Design Institute.
Since 1992 Alessandro Giampaoli has been working as a photographer, art director and freelance editor, taking part in publishing, recording and theatrical projects and collaborating with painters, sculptors, musicians and writers. As of 2005 he has been the official photographer of the Research Centre of Scenic Contemporary Arts in Pesaro, for which he has edited the photographic shots for important international festivals of classical and contemporary dance.
Giampaoli`s pictures have been included in art books and catalogues, being published by both important national and international magazines. His first solo exhibition was in 2000, followed by various photo displays in personal and collective shows. Currently, he lives and works between Pesaro and Milan.
