Giuseppe Giannotti is a Swiss-Italian journalist and photographer, who lives in the Canton Ticino in Switzerland. Belonging to a Jewish family, from his mother’s side, he worked as a journalist in an Italian daily newspaper for 40 years, cultivating his passion for reporting facts, but also for portraying people and travels.
In his initial works Giuseppe Giannotti captured images of daily life as an attentive witness of our time, inspired by the famous French photo-journalist Henry Cartier-Bresson, considered the father of street photography. Then he concentrated his attention on the female world, still taking pictures of everyday life, but also dedicating his attention to studio portraits, trying to show elegance and femininity, in search of expressions, emotions and feelings.
Based on his investigative background, he collected images that were published in his first photographic book in 2019 (“Life” De Ferrari Editore), in which he presents 180 pictures taken around the world. Then in 2022 he published a second photographic book (“Women” De Ferrari Editore) dedicated to the female world. In this book he presents 240 pictures of women from 80 countries in a multi ethnic and multicultural journey across the continents.
After these two books, he decided to partecipate at exibitions. After a first event in Switzerland, he presented a selection of his photographs at the “Spectrum” exhibition in Miami Beach in 2023. He also participated at the “For the creative by the creative” exhibition in Dubai and received the “Artventurous & Paramount Hotel Dubai Awards”. In April 2024 he presented artistic female nude photographs in black and white at Art Expo New York. In May this year he was invited at the Medina Art Gallery in Rome to exhibit other new photographs. At the moment he is working on his third photographic book.
