My background is interdisciplinary: After studying product and communication design in Florence, I moved to Germany to spend a year abroad and eventually settled in Cologne. From 2008 to 2010 I studied photography at the University of Applied Sciences of Bielefeld, finally exploring my life long passion for this medium. Since back in Cologne I work as a freelance motion designer (art direction, concept, compositing) and photographer (fine-art, landscape, urbanscape, architecture).
I'm member of the Female Photoclub and Plainpicture. My photographic portfolio is available on luisazanzani.com.
