About The Collection
The name of Francesco’s street photography project is Urbanity. The term “Urbanity” is the union of the words “urban” and “humanity”.
Francesco tries to tell the life and the movements of people in cities, through his eye. His style is made of strong contrasts.
When he is on the street he tells what he see using light to obtain unusual and sometimes abstract images.
Francesco uses the light to show only what he want and everything else turns black.
In 2019 Urbanity has also become a book, an homage to Turin, his city.
