IntroductionAlessandro Dal Buoni is a fashion photographer that was born in Italy and is currently
based in London.
It all started when he was younger, where he always loved taking pictures using his
mum’s snap camera. During a trip to Paris that camera fell into the Seine, so he
received a 35mm camera for his birthday. Once he had finished the MA in Photography
at the University of Westminster, he wrote a letter to Paolo Roversi. His office returned
the call to him and was able to meet and assist him. At a similar time was when he
published his very first photo.
The photos he takes is the way he sees the world. He enjoys clarity, purity and always
aims for what is essential and avoid what is unnecessary.
WorkAlessandro Dal Buoni has taken photos
for many different fashion magazines such
as Amica, L’Officiel Italia, VO+, Rolling
Stone and The Greatest Magazine.
His work is mostly based on the same
magazines he had previously taken
photos for, especially The Greatest
Magazine and L’Officiel Italia.
StyleI believe that the photos Alessandro Dal Buoni takes differ for a different
magazine to fit the style of the magazine. For example, I find that the photos
he has taken for VO+ magazine mostly consists of jewelry, so the photos for
VO+ magazine contains more accessories. For these types of photos, the
jewelry is matched with clothing that either compliments the accessories
featured or makes the jewelry stand out.
In the photos taken for Amica and L’Officiel Italia, backgrounds are used to
match the clothing, which give it a sense of how it looks in real life situations.
