Stefano Corso
I am a Professional Photographer living and working between Rome and Berlin. Founder of the studio Camera 42.
I was the curator of the blog “Fermo Immagine” on the italian news television (RAI) website (www.rainews.it) and Photographers’ Coordinator of the Italian Theather Festival Inscena in New York.
I've been invited as speaker for different italian shows, as street photographer: Photoshow (Milan and Rome), Fotografica 2012 (Milan) and at the Festival della Fotografia di Pesaro in 2013.
My photo Red Rain is on a worldwide distribution as artistic poster by the Image Conscious (http://www.imageconscious.com/) - California (US), which since 2012 sold thousands of copies worldwide.
My visual quest is centered on the concept of human loneliness, scattered and lost amidst urban chaos, but my point of view always has a certain surreal, oniric quality, properly balanced by the irony of the pictures’ titles. Selected images emphasize the feeling of incumbent vital spaces, where men are found wandering like lost, lonely shadows.
My works were often used as cover art for publications in Italy and abroad. My work was awarded with the Honorable Mention at IPA (International Photography Awards): "Surprise!" and "Mala Strana" in 2007 and "Generations" in 2009.
In 2010 my photo Surprise! was designed as Picture of the year by FWA – Favourite Website Awards. I have organized in Rome several personal and collective exhibition.
The last one in Berlin in the European Month of Photography 2014 in the Italian Cultural Institute, I exhibited my work “Berlin Heute: die Zukunft der Metropolis”, a visual research aimed to find in the present Berlin what was foreseen in Metropolis Movie by Fritz Lang.
I'm currently involved in historical photographic researches, interior photography, street photography, reportage, teaching photography in workshops and seminars.
I collaborate since 2011 with Airbnb as Interiors Photographer.
I work also for Airbnb as Airbnb Luxury Photographer.
From 2017 I'm a consultant for legal and copyright issues related to photography.

Camera 42
In 2016 I founded Camera 42 Studio.
At the core of Camera 42, there is a group of photographers with a passion for visual arts. Professionality and passion are the foundation of our work.
Camera 42 is housed in a 100 square meters structure in the center of Rome, with a full photographic studio, display room and classrooms. It is a place where people can share their expertise in several photographic fields, and where theory and techniques are functional to the result.
