about the photographer
My name is Yuri Rossi and I was born in Genova in 1975. Since I was a child I have been fascinated by visual arts and thanks to my father I came close to painting and fotography. At the age of 10 I printed my earliest photographies in the camera obscura equiped in the storage closet of my parents’ house. After graduation at the arts high school, I went to Milan to attend the Civic school of Cinema, where I have realised my early works as director. In 2000 I moved to Rome where I started my career in the field of Cinema, working first as assistant director and, in 2007, as director. In the last few years I have directed several tv series. Between a cinematographic project and another I have always cultivated my very first passion: photography.back to gallery
