Giuseppe Gradella

Emilia-Romagna, Italy | Artist

Based in Mantua, Italy, Giuseppe Gradella is a professional photographer who explores the fleeting impressions of memory and dreams through his photos. He believes that every image is frozen between layers, waiting to be freed or find a way out. Whether portraits, fashion, or fine art projects, Gradella’s photographs straddle what is opposite and what has held back so far. Like a thunderstorm after months of drought, he likens photography to a state of apnea, lurking under the surface until breath allows him to resurface and capture his surroundings from a perspective.Discover more
