Inspirational Photographers: Franco Fontana

Not long ago, a customer introduced me to Franco Fontana – an Italian photographer who does amazing things with long lenses & the Mediterranean countryside.

His work really appeals to me; I love abstract art & colour photography, I love Italy, and it’s also a similar style to how I shoot – but infinitely better.

Over the years his work has been in over 400 exhibitions including Modena, his birthplace, Vienna & Turin – just to name a few.

See for yourself below why I love this guys work so much.
