Marco Ristuccia

Marco Ristuccia was born in Siracusa (Italy) in 1971. He took the first photos with his father's camera, immediately falling in love with this powerful means of communication. In 1989 he moved to Turin to attend the Polytechnic Instituteand receive a Master Degree in Computer Engineering. In 2009 he decided to pursue the photographic career, capitalizing also the technical background which provides him with a particular inclination towards deep conceptual analysis and strong formal balance. He moved to Milan and attended the two years photography master atItalian Institute of Photography (IIF).


As a photojournalist he actually collaborates with the magazine Il Nuovo Berlinese for which he conducts photo-reportages and writes articles.

He also collaborated for over one year as an editor with the photography magazine Urbanautica or which he conducted international photographic scouting and interviews.


Beside commercial works Marco's personal projects cover reportage, urban and natural landscape and art photography. He is seldom interested in photographing people as main subject, preferring instead a rather neutral approach, or an indirect one, focusing on consequences and traces of human life.

You can find project updates and thoughts on concepts and photography in his blog The light beam


Marco lives and works in Berlin.
