2008 EDITION

July 8th - September 14th

Danilo Guiliani - Broken Doll, Antonia, London, 2007

Danilo Guiliani

Working mainly as a fashion and portrait photographer, Danilo Giuliani’s photography is about people. His style is often dark and moody, pure and direct; it does not rely upon tricks of process and is often shot in a very classic ‘old school’ way of portraiture.

In his photography, he engages the sitter to bring out his personality, using the smallest feelings to exaggerate the awkwardness. Sometimes playing on irony using the pose in combination with the light to bring the emotion to the surface in a way that is often negative but is brought out as a strength.

The work is mostly in a studio environment, with artificial light, sometimes mixed with natural light. Mostly black and white and classically composed, the photography denotes a presence of something unsettling and isolated.

Danilo Guiliani

Born in 1971 in Milan, Italy. Lives and works in London.


Danilo Giuliani was born and raised in Milan. Very early in his life, he developed an interest in photography. In his formative year, he acquired a Polaroid camera in a market and began taking photographs of a wide circle of friends and parents. Simultaneously, he went on to study what was his other interest, electronics, but later realized that he really wanted to follow his passion with photography and try and make it into a career. Soon after graduating, he started assisting various still life and fashion photographers. He moved to London and then to New York where in 2001, after 8 years of travelling and assisting various fashion photographers, he decided to start to work on his own projects.

The first break came very soon after; a commissioned story for an Italian magazine shot in New York.

Since then his fashion and portrait photographs have appeared in different publications all around the world. Danilo is currently living in London, concentrating in fashion photography, advertising, portraits and personal projects. In addition, he is in production for his second short film: Gone that he wrote and will direct.

He is represented by the Drenah Gallery, London
