Biography
Tony Corocher (Italy, 1974) – I've spent the last 20 years switching between graphic design and photography, working around the world. In the last 2 years my work (documenting humanitarian situations) was recognized by various international awards. I am particularly interested in the development of personal projects that give a personal, current and, I hope, true vision of what is happening around the world.
