VISUAL DISPATCH, VOLUME 6:

Luca A. Caizzi

Luca A. Caizzi is an Italian-born photographer and creative director whose work explores the energy, depth, and temporality of storytelling. In addition to taking his own photos, Caizzi founded C41 in 2011, which is a European creative production company and independent print magazine. “We observed that in the ordinary, there was so much extraordinary that needed to be told,” he said. “We wanted to give voice and a face to the ordinary, because we believe in the power of ideas, and not of false myths.” Caizzi has also done commercial work for companies like Adidas, Ray Ban, and Nike, where he infuses his personal style into every project. In this volume of Visual Dispatches we dove into the motivations behind Caizzi’s work, his experience blending visual and textual elements, and the story behind an unassuming coffee grinder in London.

WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU AT THIS MOMENT, AND HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

Luca A. Caizzi

I feel good, despite everything. I’m a photographer, I love working in publishing and I’m a creative for several brands in design and fashion. I’ve been working in the images market for almost ten years, during which I have developed not only my career but also the growth of a magazine and a production company that is now based in Milan, Amsterdam, and Paris. I studied Marketing in the city where I was born, a glorious city in the south of Italy: Bari. Later I emigrated first to Rome and then to Milan to continue my studies. Right now, Milan is my home.
