Well-known
In the last few days I’ve had a message exchange with a forum user that made me reflect on what photography means to me.
Over the years, beyond admiring the photos of the great masters we all know, I’ve been lucky enough to come across some photographers—local and otherwise (including a few here on Rangefinder)—who have inspired me (without, of course, my being able to come anywhere close to them in terms of final results).
These are photographers some of you might know, or more likely not. I’d like to take this opportunity to share them with you.
Gianni Ansaldi
Gianni is an actor, writer, and director, fairly well known in Italy for having appeared in a few reasonably successful films. I exchanged a few words with him at an event organized by a photographer friend, and I immediately appreciated his ability to put people at ease. That same quality comes through in his work as well, both in his portraits and in his street reportage around the center of the city of Genoa.

Giancarlo Fundarò
A photographer with a passion for jazz, whom I met at a couple of events. I remember him for his reserved nature, his exceptional humility, kindness, and his outstanding darkroom technique.
He once had a website, which is no longer active. He has published a couple of books: Nero Jazz and Ombre magiche. Dietro le quinte del Petruzzelli.
Here is a video in which he shows some of his photographs.
