Who’s who?

Francesco Chiot, born in the  early eighties and grown in Trieste, Italy. Artistically ignorant, he starts to learn the basic tecniques of photography in his twenties and still hasn’t settled for a style.

Favourite subjects during the years have changed from cats to infrared landscapes, from street/travel photography to moody snapshots. Actually he’s enjoying classic portraiture.
