Valerio Gargiulo is a photographer born in the Sorrentine Peninsula in 1969. Valerio captures the heart and the beauty of the views of Sorrento with touching, thought provoking, "sentimental pictures". After years of studying as a book-keeper he then decided to follow his heart and embrace his true love: photography. He developed his own tecnique, after many years as an apprentice, based on love and a strong emotional passion for photography. In 1992 Valerio opened his own studio where he continues his research and experimentation to develop the highest quality of photographs. His burning desire to be a professional and develop a first rate product had led him to collaborate with other photographers and attend numerous stages, the last of which was with Giovanni Gastel. Valerio is also fond of black and white photography, and holds a yearly exhibition, showing works obtained from his various studies and his newer expressive forms of work.
