About Niki Genchi

I started taking pictures from a young age when my mother gave me as a gift my first camera, it was a Polaroid 636 close up that I still use until now.
By growing up i developed a great love for cinema that let me graduate in humanities with thesis in Pasolini's cinema and a diploma at the cinema academy of my home town.
During this time i dedicated myself to independent filmmaking, writing screenplay, doing the direction of photography After i moved to Milan where I won a post- graduate scholarship a master of photography and visual design developed in collaboration by Naba and Forma where I obtained the highest of the grades.
I was Giovanni Gastel's assistant for a short time.
Now I work as freelance photographer based in Milan and as a teacher holding lessons for the University of Pavia, Forma, Loft, Linea Project and as a photoeditor of Iconic Artist Magazine .
