"Beyond the reef", was born in September 2013, when I asked the Italian Navy to follow
their work related to the sinking of the Costa Concordia, the cruise ship partially sunken
on Jan. 13th, 2012, near the coast of Isola del Giglio, Italy . After seeing the various
photographic works concerning the tragedy in which 32 people lost their lives due to human
error, I decided to show something different, giving the same importance to the incident,
but through a different vision. So, I clearly ignored the ship and its condition, which
were very well documented in the past months, and focused my attention on what has not
been pointed out: the operation of the Interforce working for the rescue of last two (and
not only) missing bodies. This is the result of my work.

Bruno Tamiozzo was born in Roma the 27th of July 1976.

He experienced a troubled childhood, which led him to pursue a career in Art, also to find answers hidden in his heart and his soul.

When he finished mid-school, he started to get interested in photography, and continued his studies at an art institute, where he graduated from in 1994. Later in the year, he entered the Art Academy (Accademia di Belle Arti) in Roma, where he developed his photography and direction studies.

He graduated from the Art Academy with highest marks, presenting a thesis about the "Developing of the image and grafic through the use of the most modern softwares and electronic features".

During 2003 and 2004 he attented a reportage and journalism master, where he crafted his technique and got in touch with some of the best photographers from all over the world, involved in some major agencies and publications like
MAGNUM, GRAZIA NERI, CONTRASTO
