Giulio Palumbo Schiavone. Photographer and director: I design the light before I switch it on, in stills and in motion. Working on commission since 2014, across Italy and abroad.

I call myself a light engineer. Before every shoot I study the space, its orientation, the hours when light best defines form and texture. I don’t improvise: I plan.

I film, edit and grade everything myself, nothing is outsourced. What you see is the work of one person, from the site visit to delivery.

I fly as an ENAC-certified drone operator, including where a permit is needed. As a Google-certified photographer I publish 360° photos on Street View.

“Do something well or don’t do it at all.”
