About Valerio Berdini Photography


Born in Rome, Italy in 1970, where he lived for almost thirty years, Valerio Berdini is now resident in Cambridge, UK.

Photographing from a very young age, after marvelling at the b/w darkroom process, he has developed a personal language that merges a traditional aesthetic, influenced by the masters of photojournalism, with an incessant attention at the evolution of contemporary society.

Valerio began travelling with his parents even before he walked and the desire to meet new people in their own country never stopped.

His photographic projects bring his cameras around the world to any place where a trasformation is in place. Valerio always seeks for eye contact. Either with singles, small groups or huge masses, hearing stories from people is always the driving force to put together his own stories.

His work has been exhibited worldwide and published in national and international papers and magazines, won Travel Photographer of the Year prize in UK in 2003 and has been shortlisted, finalist and commended in several photo competitions includins BBC Wildlife Photographer, Sony World Photographic Awards, Photo Month 2010.

As a live music photographer he is recognized within the UK live music scene with an archive of 500+ bands shot on film and digital and published on hundreds of music related publications.
