Francesco Bosso

Francesco Bosso (born in Italy, 1959) is a well known Italian interpreter of landscapes and primitive nature via the medium of black and white photography. Bosso’s extraordinary mastery of the technique of shooting outdoors in a large format, and his virtuosity in the darkroom, using the traditional analogue process, allows him to obtain wonderful prints on rare and precious gelatine silver paper, which intensifies the cleanliness of the whites and the depth of the tonal values and contrasts. A globetrotter by nature, the author decided – after years devoted to ethnic and anthropological reportage – to dedicate himself to thousand interpretations of landscapes. His meticulous research aims to isolate forms and natural elements in uninhabited places, where silence reigns supreme.
