Federico Grandicelli was born in Rome, Italy in 1982. He has a scientific background in physics, studied photography in SRF in Rome (2008-2009) and at the International Center of Photography of NYC (2010-2011). Grandicelli came to NYC in April 2009 and started immediately to assist Joel Meyerowitz. He also became a professional color darkroom printer. After graduating at the ICP he assisted Adam Fuss. Both are strong influences in his work, but he is combining his abstract and landscapes trying to deal with the dichotomy "what we feel, what we perceive." He always prints all his work in the color darkroom. He lives and works between Rome, New York and Oslo.
