Person properties

General info :
Franco Pagetti (born ca. 1950) is an Italian war and fashion photographer.
He is renowned for his depictions of war in regions such as Afghanistan, Kosovo, East Timor, Syria and Iraq.

Pagetti studied chemistry at the Università degli Studi di Milano before a chance meeting with architectural photographer Carla de Bendetti posed a change of course. He became her assistant and honed his craft under her guidance. He then assisted on fashion shoots in Milan, Paris and New York, before shooting fashion stories himself.

He has been a news photographer since 1994. Pagetti covered the conflict in Iraq starting in January 2003, three months before the start of the war. Afterward he was almost constantly based in Baghdad, mainly on assignment for Time Magazine. His images captured the horrors of war, the brief flowering of hope after the downfall of Saddam Hussein, the rise of insurgent and terrorist groups, and more recently, the inexorable descent into a bloody sectarian civil war.
In 2016 Pagetti has made a return to fashion photography, while still embracing his trademark reportage approach. His recognizable images for Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2016 advertising campaign on the streets of Naples showcase the city’s people as much as the models themselves.

His work has been exhibited in numerous venues in the United States of America and Europe, and his prints are held in both public and private collections. He has worked on assignment for Newsweek, New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Sunday Times, Vogue (US) and W magazine. He is also a member of Agency VII.

Franco Pagetti is based in Milan, Italy.
