Bio

Giovanni is a freelance DP, Cinematographer, and photographer based in New York City. Born in Munich, Germany from Italian parents, and raised between Munich and Sicily, he soon felt a need for exploring and the curiosity to see what the rest of the world would be like. When he turned eighteen he started traveling and spent the next five years among Germany, England, New York, Brazil, and Australia. Art expression has always been a vital part of Giovanni’s life. He has increasingly been interested in becoming a more versatile artist. Still photography will always be the core, but there are just too many interesting things going on right now. He tries not to limit himself from what types of pictures he takes, and he doesn’t want to be pigeonholed as a particular cinematographer or photographer. He is really moved, interested, and intrigued by many different art forms.
