    Honorable Mention in Architecture / Buildings

The Monoliths were usually immense, imposing and very heavy stones.Our ancestors lifted them from the ground with great difficulty and placed them in a place chosen as an indelible mark of their passage on this earth.Nowadays, monoliths can be reinterpreted by the wonders of architectural works. Increasingly complex to realize, monumental works that change the face of our cities:palaces, bridges, museums become modern artworks. The images in this series want to enhance and reinterpret the architectural idea, with the use of light and the BW, ideally transform structures into modern monoliths.

Emiliano Pinnizzotto was born in Rome in 1983, displayed at an early age an inclination towards and a great feeling for the image and the audio visual arts, fascinated as he was with photography, cinema and music.

In this way he gradually developed a style of his own, characterized above all by photographic storytelling and portraiture in a social vein, making use exclusively of the natural light available .He is a member of the National Order Of Journalists.
