About Us
Francesco Curá
Francesco Maria Curá is an established fine art and fashion photographer based in Los Angeles. He's been involved in the arts since an early age and has used their several forms and medias to express himself - music, theatre and painting among many others. After having graduated from the prestigious Institute of Arts P.Toschi in Parma (Italy) he slides into photography: it will become his primary vehicle of visual expression, which varies from all levels of fashion to abstract to architecture.
Francesco strongly embraces both the production and post-production segments of image creation. His wide range of interests has brought him to capture the most varied of subjects, concepts and environments. Francesco works at his studio in Hollywood, but also thrives shooting on location.
His hunger for experimentation has pushed him into crossing styles and boundaries. There's always room to love color, contrast, monocromes, black and whites, film and digital. The choice of a particular visual syntax is never casual but always causal.
Over the years, he’s been published in several magazines and exhibited around the world.
