Movement - just like true beauty –
can be found everywhere, as long as
​we keep our mind open to discover it and our eyes focused and ready to immortalize it. A magical moment is when our preparation meets the right opportunity with perfect timing.

NICOLA MAJOCCHI
​
From downhill skiing the Italian alps as a teenager to working as an assistant to legendary photographer Irving Penn in NYC, Nicola Majocchi has had a colorful career and always displayed a capacity to look at life with humour, drama and sensuality, all of it spiked by an element of risk – and his photography reflects as much.
Today, Majocchi is an internationally acclaimed photographer dividing his time between New York City, Los Angeles and his native Italy. Majocchi’s images are known for their fusion of postmodern edginess and euro-romanticism.
