Aldo Soligno, Photographer.
Aldo’s sophisticated eye for minimal landscapes and his almost flemish-peinture approach to portraiture make an unexpected contrast with the committed themes he chooses to represent. From the exploration of the link between media and war in Gaza strip (Plunged into Cast Lead and A Scorching Summer) to the most recent The struggling Life of Gay Community in Uganda, his ability to establish a deep relationship with his subjects has granted him many awards. His pictures have been exhibited in Italy and abroad, including the recent XV Biennale de la Mediterranée,Thessaloniki, Greece. Aldo currently lives in Milan.
Since 2013, he is represented by Echo Photo Agency.
This is Aldo's testimonial on our work together:
"Raffaela has been the Photoeditor of my first agency, Emblema. The first Photoeditor with whom I had the good fortune to work with. And this has been for me something great, as she taught me most of the things I use in my work today. She has taught me how to learn from the experience of each single work, each single reportage, to improve and progress in the next one.
Most importantly, she taught me professionalism. What it means to produce a reportage for distribution to customers and how to lay the foundation of a relationship with them.
All this has meant, for me, the difference between being a good photographer and become a serious professional."
