My name is Andrea Cerofolini, I am from Florence and I have always had a talent for photography. Since he was a child he already took pictures.
He graduated in photography at the University of Florence in 1999. Then in 2000 he did a master’s degree in portrait and fashion photography at the Marangoni school.
An internationally famous portrait painter who has also collaborated with Oliviero Toscani, Steve McCurry, Ivan Troyanovsky.A photographed models such as Yana Sinner, Martina Tosi, Miluniel, haidi Romanova, Angelina Petrova, Sadie gray etc.
Great photographer of reportage and Street photography.
I’m mainly involved in portrait photography, storytelling, advertising and book/cd covers. Before viewers’ eyes, an ordinary fence becomes a vital piece of his visual puzzle, casting a distinct shadow across his model’s face.
To incorporate additional drama in his photographs,the artist uses various elements of nature – grass, plants, trees, and wildflowers – to create an improvised shadow, silhouette, or frame.
While his model’s faces are partly obscured by any given element in each respective shot, Albi makes it so each shot offers a unique way of hiding and revealing his beautiful subject.
This impressive technique is the cameraman’s way of adding an additional creative dimension to his work.
Albi also believes that a woman’s long, colorful hair can work as an extra prop on a shoot. He utilizes the ability of each strand to swerve, curl, and wrap around their faces,like an organic frame.Despite his penchant for visual drama,
the gifted artist never overdoes it.His portraits appear simple and refined,
yet intriguing at the same time. The women in his shots are not merely pretty faces.
“They add value to each portrait through the emotions they convey “.
