Biography
Paolo Pellegrin has travelled to some of the Earth’s harshest and most extreme environments, to bring back photographs which speak to a profound communality of human experience. He was born in 1964 in Rome and initially studied architecture at l'Università la Sapienza, Rome before pursuing his studies in photography at the Istituto Italiano di Fotografia. Between 1991 and 2001, Pellegrin was represented by the Parisian photography agency, Agence VU.
