Flags and banners in honor of Napoli 3 (2023) Photography by Vincenzo Izzo

Hello,

I am Vincenzo Izzo born in Maddaloni city in the province of Caserta on 02/26/93.

A few years ago after having attended the photography course at the Pigrecoemme school in Naples out of simple curiosity, I was so fascinated by this world that I decided to follow a second and a third one, that of a photojournalist and later that of an Embedded operator in areas crisis in collaboration with Centro Studi Roma 3000.

I decided that this had to be my path, because I had the opportunity to be the eyes of others, I could capture the moment with my photos and block it forever.

Here with a pinch of courage and determination I put my university studies aside, I wanted to gain experience and become good at what I really liked, so I looked for contacts in the world of journalism, I had to start from something, I was anxious to take my own photo.

The first assignments arrived a little at a time, small things, conferences, demonstrations, everything encouraged me to continue, and after a year the greatest joy arrived, the accreditation to photograph the arrival of Pope Francis in Caserta. Subsequently, the online newspaper instructed me to follow the Lega Pro Calcio throughout the season, the sidelines always give me strong emotions.

I am currently a member of the order of journalists and also of the Italian National Press Federation.

I am a photographer of the SerieA, SerieB football league, and I am present on all political and sporting events throughout Italy.

Publishing my photos for TIME, BBC, CNN, Daily Mail, EuroSport, Espreso, HuffPost, Mirro, etc.

I don't love bedroom or ceremony photos so much, I prefer to be in tune with the moment, to be in the right place at the right time; I am also fascinated by the elegance of Black / White because it gives me the impression that time has stopped exactly at that precise moment, I prefer action as being in motion gives me more stimuli.

I never shoot much to do it, I only shoot when I think it is necessary, only when my photo can be able to convey the true meaning and emotion I feel.

If someone were to ask me: "Do you have a dream?" I would reply: "yes, I have a dream and I really want to be able to make it come true. I would like my photos to travel around the world and give emotions ".

Without a goal, what meaning would our life have?
