BIO
Lucio Farina
Born (1980) and raised in Italy. During his teen he discovered the world of CG. After graduated at Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome he started to work as visual effect artist and later as CG Supervisor. Between 2008-2010 he moved to Milan, Stockholm, Madrid, Toronto where worked for few VFX companies as lighting artist. Since 2011 he relocated to Singapore where he’s currently working for ILM. Because of his job he has always been interested in photography and imaginary in general, but since he moved in Asia he wanted to explore a new form of photography that he never considered before like street and travel. The reason is partially due to the daily job as a vfx lighting artist where he has full control of every aspect of the image, and partially because Singapore was the first asian country he has been to. That opened his visual mind and pushed towards travel and street photography. Opposite to the day job street photography is completely off his hands, he can’t control what happens, but he can snap and freeze ordinary moments and make them extraordinary.
