Background

About Donato Giannese

An entry into the image world with a project approach. I graduated in 2008 in Design and Visual Communication, choosing photography as expression and fashion as a new goal. Finishing college, at 23, I moved to Milan and soon began work with the advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi. I completed a masters degree in photography at Jhon Kaverdash Academy Milan, where for few months I was given the opportunity to boost my skills working as assistant. After the school, I worked with some senior photographer, assisting and managing more productions, such as Talco, Lisap, Luxos, Virgin and Alexander Terekhovn, when I began to consider all the possibilities of my career. 2011 was an important period. I shot my rst beauty campaign for Nouba and I founded my own studio, Studio Bubbles, in the heart of Milan’s fashion and design district, working for two years on fashion and beauty productions, with clients as Jhon Galliano, Antony Morato, Angelo Galasso, Maddalena Triggiani, Lightex and Vodafone. 2013 was the time to change something, to taste a new light. I moved to Sydney, Australia, where I’ve been busy with Sydney Props Studios and Style Academy as photographer and studio manager, and by my own on few commercial jobs as freelance. After more than two years down under I decided to head back to Europe because is magic, there is a culture about fashion, art, photography and style that I’ve not found anywhere else yet. In late 2016 I moved to Budapest and begin to work as model scout with Weareone Management. I’m continuously looking for a new experience to inspire this life, trying to elevate the standing of fashion photography.
