Silvano Franzi

Silvano Franzi was born in Verbania on January 14, 1945. At the age of 23 he began as a simple amateur photographer, but photography soon became a real professional choice for him. His work was born from a great interest in image processing and graphic effects. In addition to conventional photography, he uses mechanical and chemical techniques and processes: solarization, toning, photograms (photo-graphy), chemigrams, contrast control with masks, conversion of the image from "continuous tone" to "line" image, collages and others... The materials used are among the most disparate: very high quality products, expired or deteriorated films and paper, exhausted and contaminated baths; everything that can lead the author to achieve the desired effect.
Industrial photographer for a decade, he has at his disposal the best equipment available on the market at that time.
A graphics enthusiast (he drew cars at the age of 13, as a hobby), in 1991 he took an advanced "Autocad" course and began, at the age of 40, to deal with computerized design; he also designed a hundred watches. From the use of the Reflex to the choice of preferring the use of the PC, the step is short.

At the end of the nineties he deals with Marketing (Art director and communication). As Art Director he shot a commercial in 3/4" at a well-known automotive company.
He has worked in various sectors: design (interior designer), fashion (women's underwear), electronics, IT, marketing, and, later, in the field of mobile telephony (Network Implementation)
For about two years he has picked up his Reflex again, while showing a predilection for 3D graphics processing, and experimentation (experimental photography and Contemporary DIGITAL ART).
He has created 6 3D animation DVDs and as a WEBMASTER he has created his own WEB sites
