Fulvio Bonavia

Fulvio Bonavia has won numerous awards for his fresh and humorous hyperreal style, and has produced work for clients such as BMW, Volkswagen, Swatch, Dr Scholls, Disney, Nokia and MTV.

Fulvio began his career as an advertising illustrator working entirely by hand, but quickly adopted the computer as a creative tool, before developing his skills as a photographer. Fulvio s hands-on approach ensures each image is a complete reflection of his concept and vision. When I succeed in giving an image a soul, I m happy, he says.

Fulvio s numerous awards include Communication Arts, Photo District News, International Photography Award, Italian Art Directors Club and Luerzer s Archive Best Photographer. He divides his time between New York and Milan. A Matter of Taste is his first book.
