Claudio Sericano - About me

"Architectural photography can aim to arouse emotions rather than merely celebrating the geometries of the buildings. Claudio Sericano places them in a completely distorted dimension. He reinvents lights and shadows, and alters the colors according to a strictly personal style that often results in feelings of anguish and alienation."
Jessica Barresi (Foto Cult magazine, November 2021)

I was born in Italy in 1963. I start photography more than 40 years ago. I won my first national contest in 1989. In recent years I have won important international awards.

The Dutch online magazine “Photo & Tecnique“, edited by the photographer Cor ‘t Hart, dedicated to me, in issue 29, the cover and 14 pages.

"Sometimes all you need to do to find beauty in this world is change your perspective. Claudio Sericano’s photography is a great example. Looking up can transform a city street into an inspiring scene. Of course great editing, some processing effects and a cool comic-book-esque vibe certainly don’t hurt, but you get my point."
