A course by Marcelo Di Rienzo
Artistic photographer and filmmaker Marcelo Di Rienzo picked up his first camera early on in life, inspired by his father, who was also a photographer. His training in graphic design taught him how to work with shapes, colors, visual rhythm, and composition, while his training in filmmaking expanded his knowledge of cinematic photography and audiovisual production.
For ten years, he served as a co-founder of the studio Neofilms, spearheading visual communication, brand design, photography, and marketing campaigns for brands such as Samsung, Hilton, HP, Adobe, Land Rover, and many others. He later transitioned to a career as a full-time freelance photographer, which has allowed him to travel throughout countries such as Italy, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Germany, and Greece.
