Luigi Ornaghi photographer

Luigi Ornaghi photographer Luigi’s passion for photography grew when he explored fine art black-and-white photography printing with the Italian Foundation of Photography in Turin.

Luigi Ornaghi’s passion for photography was born from a gift he received in his youth: a Mamiya Reflex ZEX, which opened him up to the fascinating world of images frozen in time. For the past decade, Luigi has worked as a photographer, exploring themes such as men at work, the fine balance between the rusticity of nature and the mechanized realm of human labor, and the evocative landscapes of his

homeland, Italy. “I try to portray the essence of people and the enchantment o f places that are suspended in time,” he says. Here ,he would study under celebrated photographer Enzo Obiso and deepen his knowledge of the gallery environment. This was followed by additional courses with the Cineclub of Monte Carlo, as well as the opportunity to experiment with a variety of methods and products in conjunction with the FNAC, an international entertainment retail chain offering a slew of cultural and electronic products. A successful stint with freelancing led Luigi to a number of gallery shows and a portfolio overflowing with unique, haunting photorealistic images ranging from still life to commercial depictions of laborers in factories and mines. Luigi’s technical skill is complemented by a startlingly original depiction of the human condition and the aspects of culture and nature that leave their imprint upon us. He creates work that is sensitive, evocative, understated, and elegant. Influenced by the Brazilian photojournalist Sebastiao Salgado, Luigi’s a esthetic is clean and classical, with a strong focus on his subject and no manipulation of the surrounding elements. Luigi’s fine attunement to his subjects and the nuances with which his work is imbued are characterized by a singular patience and an eye that is keenly trained upon the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s always good to wait for the right moment to shoot a picture with the right light—sometimes Photoshop isn’t enough!”
As a professional chef, Luigi works within a broad palette to express hiscreativity. His thirst for knowledge and cultural exchange is evident in his tireless accumulation of photographic knowledge and his desire to explore methods that wed artistic rigor to technical acumen. He speaks four languages and has lived in four countries.
