biography

Marco Milani, was born in Turin in 1961 and lives in Milan, Italy.

He is a professional photographer, specializing in photojournalism and outdoor advertising photography, especially in the mountains, and of mountain sports activities (trekking, skiing, free climbing, mountaineering, mountain biking).

His personal photographic research has led him, in particular, to develop techniques for panoramic photography of the natural environment using still cameras with a rotating lens and large format cameras before turning to digital technique in 2003. Usually he shoots sport and nature photos in mountains, sometimes astronomical pictures as preferred hobby.

With the famous italian alpinist Alessandro Gogna he wrote four volumes of the series "I Grandi Spazi delle Alpi", an 8 large format books collection describing the most panoramic treks in the Alps, published by Priuli e Verlucca - Melograno Editori.
