Read MoreMimmi Moretti, whose real name is Domenico, was born in Catania in 1966. A few months later the family moved to Paris. It was in the French capital that he was culturally informed and where he began, thanks to his uncle, to take pictures and familiarize himself with the dark room. At the age of 20 he started working as a freelance photographer, collaborating with a few magazines.
He left college before graduating to work for a German multinational company. A few years later he left that to pursue his own entrepreneurial initiative during the dot-com business boom. Towards the late 90s he returned to photography and began experimenting with the new digital photographic technology that was dawning and definitively made the transition to digital photography in 2002. It was in 2014 that he first displayed his photographs in a collective exhibit in London.
Photography remains his main means of expression through which to experiment and develop new and unique forms of visual communication.
His images are often characterized by some key elements such as beauty, geometric rigour and irony. He loves to range between different arts, subjects, and themes in the continuous search for unusual and original styles from which the influence of the humanities studies often emerges.
