I am CCO and director of photography at space+style™ by marco joe fazio Ltd, working in fashion, hospitality, food & drink, architecture and design.
Born and raised in Tuscany, Italy, I learned the rudimental of photography and the magic of the darkroom in my early school years. Thereafter, I worked in architecture, interior and lighting design for two decades. During those years, I founded an award-winning architectural studio managing a multi-disciplinary design team working mainly for fashion industry clients.
Moved to London in 2008, I have been recognised as a Chartered Architect of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) while pursuing my dream of connecting the worlds of architecture, design and fashion from the photographer's perspective.
After years of passionate dedication, hard work and professional achievements, I was awarded the Fellowship certification (FBIPP) by the British Institute of Professional Photography and won the Peter Grugeon Award for the Best Fellowship of the Year in 2016. Subsequently, I have been admitted as a member of the highly regarded Association of Photographers (AOP).
Having achieved a stronghold in coordinated image and photography for the design and fashion world, I have taken my expertise into the hospitality market; the likes of luxury/boutique hotels, fine dining restaurants, drinks & beverage industry are all reaping benefits from my services.
Today I am leading my agency in assignments for the hospitality, fashion and design industries.
Creative photography, cinematography, coordinated image and brand marketing form the core of my services.
Thanks to more than a decade spent in the music industry, I have expendable knowledge in composition and sound engineering. That’s a valuable asset in creating licensed soundtracks and magnetic sound designs for commercial productions.
My passion and another branch of my business are mentoring and nurturing new visual arts talents. In 2016 I launched "telling [fashion] stories" – photography & set design workshops – and more recently, I have become a lecturer for the School of Art and Creative Industries at London South Bank University (LSBU).
The crossover between genres and industries is a peculiar and essential factor in my work, contributing to thinking outside the box and achieving a unique style rich in symbolism and content.
