Daniele Tamagni is an Italian freelance photographer, based in Milan and London. His background is in History of Art, only dedicating himself to the medium of photography in recent years.

In the last couple of years he has begun to document communities all around the world, from Africa to Peckham, undertaking specific projects in exploring culture, religion, music, fashion and art.

He says; “The aim was to find common threads between these themes in different contexts; positive forces that manage to capture fragments of life.”
He was photographer for the exhibition- project Peckham Rising in 2007, organized with Paul Goodwin, the cross cultural curator at the Tate Britain.

In his most recent project is about the Sapeurs of Bacongo. This work won the first prize as best portfolio in the ‘Young Photographers Canon Award 2007’, and second prize at “Premio Ponchielli 2009”.

His book Gentlemen of Bacongo is now published with Trolley Books. His photographic work has been published in English magazines (the Guardian Weekend, the Daily Telegraph, Daily Terror, Royal Photographic Journal, F2, Arise) and international magazines (De Morgen magazine, Australian weekend, Epsilon, La Repubblica Velvet and many others). He is regularly published in the Italian bi-monthly magazine Africa.
