Francesco Radino (Bagno a Ripoli 1947 – Milan 2022) was born to parents who were both painters. After studying Sociology, in 1970 he became a professional photographer and chose to work in various fields, from industrial photography to design, from architecture to landscape. From the 1980s onwards, he took part in numerous public research projects on the territory, from the Archivio dello Spazio to the Atlante Italiano, and contributed to the development of research photography on the contemporary landscape, intertwining his professional work with personal research. Over the years, he has developed a free-spirited approach to exploring reality that now extends beyond the landscape genre, embracing every aspect of the world, from nature to urbanised areas, from the human figure to objects, from animals to artefacts of human history. He has exhibited his work in galleries and museums across Italy, Europe, Japan and the United States, and has published numerous books. His works form part of international public and private collections.
Francesco Radino uses black and white as color in the same measure, maintaining in both cases the tones of that delicacy that well interprets his polite style and always crossed by a vein of irony. These two works well represent his way of observing reality: it is no coincidence that one of his monographic books is well entitled Modus videndi. A beach, an arm that widens and, despite occupying only a small portion of space, allows all the attention on itself. With few, and apparently not very significant details, Radino knows how to construct a photograph full of many suggestions. To shoot Piazza Duomo, he chooses an unusual composition that escapes the predictable: he decides not to put the cathedral in the center, marking its presence with a reference that occupies the left side of the image and then focuses his attention on the open space overlooking the Royal Palace, observed slightly from above to emphasize its width.
