Stefano Levi

A good image does not need any comment

Stefano Levi is a freelance photographer and photojournalist currently
based in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Levi was born in Trieste in 1970 where he spent most of his childhood. He
studied Chemistry at the university of Parma and worked in Italy for a
while, after obtaining his master´s degree.

In 2001, after spending four years in the Netherlands, Levi obtained a
Ph.D. degree in chemical technology. Subsequently he moved to Germany
where he currently lives and works as manager in the chemical industry
since 2002 and pursues his passion, photography, at a professional level.

Stefano Levi started early with photography. At the age of 13, he owned
his first camera. A tiny Minox GT. He was thought by his father Giorgio,
who was an ambitioned amateur photographer and transmitted him the
technical knowledge and the passion for this art. Since more than 18
years, photography accompanies him through life. Levi sees photography as
the tool one can use, to speak directly to the heart. He developed
himselve not through college or photographic courses, but in constant
contact with professional photographers, and on field.

A good image does not need any comment; it strikes you right there, in
the middle of your chest, and your eyes cannot move away from it. Pity
that good images are a seldom thing and never mine.

During the last years Levi travelled extensively throughout Europe, Latin
America and Asia. His photographic work includes both, Reportage
photography focussing also on social and humanitarian themes, as well as
fine art photography and fashion.

Recently some of his fine art work appeared on The New Erotic
Photography, by Dian Hanson, Taschen Ed.
