Niki Genchi biography
I started taking pictures from a young age when my mother gave me as a gift my first camera, it was a Polaroid 636 close up that I still use until now.
By growing up I developed a great love for cinema that led me graduate in humanities with a thesis in Pasolini’s cinema, and a diploma at the cinema academy of my home town Bari.
During this time I dedicate myself to independent filmmaking, writing screenplay, direction and photography of several short films.
Subsequently I moved to Milan where I decided to study photography in Jhon Kaverdash academy.
After completing my technical preparation, I won a post-graduate scholarship in master of photography and visual design developed in collaboration by NABA and FORMA where I obtained the highest of the grades.
I love photography because gives me the possibility to express my emotions without speaking.
My personal ideal of beauty is simple and elegant.
Currently I live and work in Milan.
