Piero Percoco

He was born in Bari and lives in a small town called Sannicandro di Bari, just a few kilometers away. He has been taking photographs for over ten years and is self-taught, having never attended photography schools. Cinema has been an integral part of his journey; since childhood, he has watched countless films, many of them science fiction like Alien, Predator, Total Recall, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and many others. He started by posting daily everyday photographs on Instagram from 2012, using an iPhone. Over time, this activity evolved into a full-time career: he has been contacted by various magazines, including The New Yorker, The New York Times, The British Journal, as well as many brands that commissioned work from him. He has published three photography books, and his work is continuously evolving.
