Matteo Canestraro
Rome, Italy
I'm a photographer and I've turned 30.
I was born in a rocky old town in Italy, I grew up in an advertising agency and studied photography at ISF-CI in Rome. I've searched my home on both shores of the Atlantic ocean, living in London, Brooklyn and Barcelona for a while. Today I'd like to live in a place with jungles and beaches.
I'm a professional since 2007. I'm specialized in portraits, industrial and architecture photography. Over the years I’ve collaborated with several Advertising Agencies, Companies and Publications, such as Jimmy Choo, Bureau Betak, Phaidon UK, Il Sole 24 Ore, Wallpaper* City Guides, Skira, Weber Shandwick Italia, Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, Rome Film Festival.
My images have been published by: Wallpaper* City Guides, Phaidon, SKIRA, IlSole24Ore, Festival del Cinema di Roma, Frame Magazine, AD France, AD Mexico, Fondazione MAXXI, Università degli Studi di Cassino, Terre Rare, F-Stop Magazine, Landscape Stories, Dodho Magazine, Fotografia Magazine "Foto-Mobile", BeniCulturali 3.0, Architonic, Divisare, ArchiPortale, DesignFather, The Plus Paper, Contemporist, e-architect, Gessato, Instaura, DecoArq, 3/3, OggiAbbiamoCapitoChe.
