Statement:
I have been working since 1980 as a professional photographer and creative in advertising.
Since 1995 I have been carrying out very carefully fine art
photography projects to be sold in the market of art collecting.
I always do my best to carry out my personal projects by
employing the most suitable expressive technique, in total freedom and without following any trend fashion or temporary current.
In my artist dimension, the photographic medium is used like the the scalpel of the surgeon to incise daily life searching for hidden places in my mental territories, where echoes of real world arrive filtered. Here the photographic reality is nearly forgotten and replaced by something else…
Vita / Lebenslauf:
Franco Donaggio was born in Chioggia, in the province of Venice, in 1958.
In 1979 Donaggio moved to Milan, where he began working creatively in the
in the field of advertising and graphic design. In 1980 he opened his own
photographic studio in the city. His high skill and constant experimentation
in all the darkroom and shooting techniques soon lead the author to study
in depth new aesthetic languages, which constantly renew his professional
and creative level. In 1992 he is awarded the ‘ Pubblicità Italia’ price for
still life photography. In 1995 he realizes his first major project called
‘Metaportraits’, thanks to which he wins the Italian ‘Kodak Gold Award’ for
creativity portrait in 1996. At the same time, he is invited to carry out several
creative prestigious projects like calendars, brochures and advertising
campaigns for national and international business companies. Donaggio
dedicates himself more and more to fine art photography and starts a close
collaboration with ‘Joel Soroka Gallery’ in Aspen, which represents him for
the North American sales collection market. Since then, he has attended the
principal photo art trade fairs through the United States such as ‘Photo LA’,
Los Angeles, ‘Aipad show’, New York, ‘Art FAir Chicago’. Donaggio’s fine art
works have been exhibited in numerous Italian, European and North American
galleries and museums and some of his photographs are included in several
public and private art collections.
