Roberto Bigano
Roberto Bigano, based in Verona and Naples, Italy, has been a professional photographer since 1980.
With a diverse client base that requires wide-ranging commercial art and fine art photography, he has some 30 books to his credit, including Divina Bugatti and Il Cavaliere Inesistente. In 2007, "Alta Cucina in Alto Adige" won the Gourmand World Cookbook Award for best food photography in Italy, and "Locks" was named best photography book of antiques by a jury at TEFAF, the world’s leading arts and antique fair.
In 2009 an important book "Antonio Canova, l'invenzione della bellezza", with photographs of Roberto and Mimmo Jodice, was gifted to the eight presidents or governement leaders at the G8 summit.
The book became famous to be the most expensive ever published.
His specialty is being able to do what most photographers usually cannot. For instance he specialize in overhead shooting or reproduced a fresco in hundreds of shots then blended them, revealing a virtually unknown 10th century Byzantine masterpiece.
Big companies, such as Bogen/Manfrotto and Gitzo, have been his top clients for the past 15 years. He also works for large Italian, German, and Austrian technology companies, for museums and cultural associations, and for Franco Maria Ricci (FMR), the top art book publisher.
Roberto teaches photography at international workshops and conferences, including Photokina 2008 and is a digital photography consultant, specializing in Hasselblad software and Adobe Photoshop, and a field tester for Manfrotto and others.
As a Hasselblad Photo Partner for Italy, he have been asked to work on important and complex projects. For instance, the reproduction in high definition of the most important drawings of Leonardo da Vinci.
Currently he is working to a fascinating and intense project with Southern Italy’s Institute of Cultural Assets, with particular focus on Naples and his architecture. An important work on the quake in L'Aquila will be published and exhibited soon.
