Paolo Quadrini is a photojournalist and set photographer, originally from sunny and eternal Rome, Italy.
His love of photography began in the early ‘90s when he saw an image being developed in the darkroom and he thought it was magical. At that time, he was in love with the smell of film, the great beauty of his city and theater photography.
Then Paolo became a professional nomad. He traveled for years to experience the world through photography, always hunting for natural light and real-life moments. During those years he was constantly meeting people, finding unexpected moments and seeking adventure.
Now his home is in New York City where he enjoys his work as freelancer. His photography blends compassion and curiosity. The subjects are primarily social and political with a rich sense of place and a strong focus on humanity. He is an ICP alumnus and a regular and proud contributor to Shoot4Change, a non-profit organization that focuses on humanitarian reportage.
Other than photography, Paolo is a tea lover, computer geek and bike enthusiast.
