Paolo Zerbini

Paolo Zerbini was born in Mantova, Italy, and moved to the UK at the age of 20 to study photography. After earning a BA (Hons) in Photography from the University of Gloucestershire, he began assisting in London and launched his career as a photographer in the UK.

His editorial and personal work is often inspired by British youth culture and Italian lifestyle.

His photography is characterized by warm tones, vibrant energy, and an instinctive, observational approach.

In 2018, Paolo co-founded Bellissimo Zine with Ivan Ruberto — a photographic concept project disguised as a magazine, which gained international attention for its ironic take on everyday life and portraiture.

To date, Paolo has published four books distributed worldwide.

He currently lives between Milan and London.
