Biography:

Fabrizio Fiorenzano, as an award winning Italian photographer, contributes to Worthington Agency more than professional photographs; he creates extraordinary art. A native of Naples, Fabrizio has produced a gallery of captivating photographs from all over the world. His numerous exhibitions include Naples, Capri, Ischia, Sorrento and the city that is the birth place of all art, Florence. He is an expert in the relatively new field of digital communication, travel photography and photojournalism.

Fabrizio Fiorenzano has won the gold medal at the International Exhibition of Contemporary Art in Florence, Italy. This gold medal: "The Lorenzo il Magnifico" is awarded by a panel of international judges to the best photographic artists in this field. Named for the great patron of the arts, Lorenzo dei Medici "The Magnificent" it is definite recognition of his unique talent.

What makes Fabrizio Fiorenzano’s work so special is his ability to see past the image in front of his lens and capture, in a few brief seconds, the soul of his subject that most photographers could never see. His association with the Worthington Agency enriches the articles we produce and gives the world a printed image to compliment our words.

These "compositions", as Fabrizio Fiorenzano prefers to define the result of his work, find an illustrious predecessor in the history of figurative arts in the photo montage, that shows an image obtained at shoot-time or print-time by patching together various images in different ways; a practice that has been around since the early days of photography and is still in use today where it is used to expressive purposes.

The most famous artist in this field that we have record of was John Heartfield (1891-1968), author of a large number of satyric works targeting the German Nazi government, made in collaboration with George Grosz who also helped found and support the Berlin Dada group of artists, around the end of the '10s during the last century.

One of the most well-known works by John Heartfield, entitled "Once during the Middle Ages, so now under the III Reich" shows a man crucified on a swastika.

Today's skillful usage of the computer as employed by Fabrizio Fiorenzano, who uses it to put together the pictures he chooses for his compositions and given to him from Giovanni Ratta or from other parts, makes the old photo montage technique appear like a tender old relative who, after having started a path with an idea and then walked it for a good distance, generously enables us to continue walking it by different means.

Indeed, the results achievable through electronics are amazing for number of colours, infinitely adjustable shades, transparent veils, number of usable backgrounds, available filters, range of effects and much more - all tools that are not available in the darkroom and that can be precisely applied at each instance, without the unpredictability of chemicals. Fascinating world of possibilites in which creativity, talent, emotion and synthetical skills get along perfectly with intelligence, reflection, technique and play.

The result of Fabrizio's work appears consolidated by now, and if we abandon ourselves to the reading of his works packed with atmosphere and deep tension in regards to the inequality of the world, the woman's condition in third world countries and the obtuseness of wars, as well as beauty, nature, abstractions, dream and contradictions, then we can enjoy the enchanted birth of an "image of images" which allows us to raise our awareness and communicate without words.
