BIOGRAPHY

Salvatore Matarazzo is an Italian photographer and visual artist born and based in Viareggio, Tuscany. After developing his photographic practice through professional experience in photojournalism, he found his distinctive artistic language in street photography, where irony, satire and a touch of the grotesque meet in an unconventional portrayal of everyday life.

Characterised by the bold use of direct flash and an instinctive connection with his subjects, his work transforms ordinary urban scenes into striking visual narratives. His photography has gained international recognition, appearing in publications such as The Huffington Post and LensCulture, and receiving awards including the Tokyo International Foto Awards.

Alongside his artistic research, he has collaborated with international brands including Diesel and IKEA, photographing the 2026 Belli Organizzati campaign celebrating the iconic FRAKTA bag. He is a member of the photography collectives Elephant Gun and Full Frontal Flash, and founder of Street Photography Versilia.
