Born in Ancona (Italy), I spent four years of my childhood in north England, where both my parents were working at the Italian Consulate.

We then went back to Italy where I spent a lot of time with my grandfather Emo Pandolfi (please click), who was a painter.

During my teenage years I studied at Liceo Classico Rinaldini, covering amongst other subjects, History of Art, Philosophy, Literature, History, Latin and Ancient Greek.

I first studied photography in Bologna attending the public lectures at Accademia di Belle Arti. I then moved to London, where I studied Photography and Printing Techniques, Live Events Photography, Photoshop and Web Design at the London College of Communication.

Since then I have worked on personal projects about youth culture in the UK and Italy.

My work is represented by photo libraries Getty Images, Reuters, Pymca, Camera Press and Jupiter Images.

My photographs have appeared on, amongst others:

The Economist, The Guardian, MTV Networks, Time Out and Elle Magazine.

Clients that have used my photos include:

Reuters, Nokia, Channel 4, BBC, Arts Council, SKY, Microsoft, AOL, Blockbuster, AKQA and BBDO.

My images have been exhibited at the collective show: "IDENTITY - 40 Years of British Youth and Subculture Photographs" and at my solo show at Palazzo Camerata.

This website shows my Youth Culture, Feature Portraits and Music photography. If you would like to view my images of PR, Fashion, Charity events and Symposiums, please visit my other website: JP Images
