Stefano Graziani is a photographer living and working in Trieste. Trained as an architect, he teaches the history and technique of photography at the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Trieste and has been working for five years in the photographic lab of the Design and Art Faculty at IUAV, Venice, as well as organising different workshops at universities throughout Europe. The Cavallino-Treporti Fotografia initiative selected Graziani its chosen photographer this year because he has contributed both new images and a new language to the medium, creating meaningful links between the fascinating physical properties of nature and the ethereality of fireworks.
