Biography
After degree and research studies at the “Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica” (National Institute of High Mathematics) in Rome, Massimo Cappellani approaches photography fully, with a particular eye to dance. He completes his technical training with the annual advanced course in photography at the “Istituto Europeo di Design” (European Institute of Design), in Rome. His visual research is an attempt to build a symbolic-emotional content around his favourite subjects: man-nature relationship, social issues, art picture.
The narrative form he prefers is the black-and-white analogical reportage, that he thinks to be the most direct way to catch the essence of things.
At present, he is involved in the project “Danza-solo per fotografia”, a melting point between two languages: dance turning into image and photography turning into performance.
