Milanese photographer Giuseppe Pino is known as a refined portraitist and an extraordinary observer of the jazz universe. This book contains timeless faces that have marked the past century, including Vladimir Nabokov,
Andy Warhol, Frank Zappa, Giorgio Armani and more.
The wider audience knows Giuseppe Pino only as a refined portraitist, and an extraordinary observer of the jazz universe but in four decades he has kept his style intact while working in different genres: nudes, fashion, advertising and corporate image. There are recurring features in his images and portraits: irony, together with naturalness (not much), a lot of surrealism and, today, even a bit of sarcasm.
Giuseppe Pino was born in Milan in 1940 with a mix of French, Swiss and Sicilian blood. In 1962 he began to photograph at Panorama magazine, where he worked for 7 years shooting covers. In 1973, he moved to New York where he lived for many years in the turmoil of the magic
jazz world, catching its most intimate moments, capturing jazz icons such as Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Dizzy Gillespie and Ella Fitzgerald.
