Alberto Magliozzi

Alberto Magliozzi (born September 17, 1949, in Nettuno) is an Italian glamour photographer.

Magliozzi prefers to shoot in black and white instead of color, and uses analogue film instead of digital. His style has created a counter-trend, with him being credited as an originator of shooting with medium-format equipment. During his career, he has photographed many famous women. In some cases, his photography has created scandals. Articles about Magliozzi have appeared in various magazines, including Playboy and Penthouse.

Biography

In addition to reports that have appeared in Playboy and Penthouse, Magliozzi's reports have appeared in several other fashion and glamour magazines such as Marie Claire, TU Style of Mondadori, Maxim, and Boss Magazine.

Glamour as a social pretext The glamour conceived by Magliozzi has always been soft. According to him, the photos of him can be defined as "mischievous", "sexy", often "provocative", but never "hard". Faces and female bodies also for works apparently irreconcilable with his photographic themes, even temporary living "installations", in disparate "natural" locations, but almost never preconstructed and artificial.

In Magliozzi's opinion, glamour can also be used as a means of social denunciation by addressing issues such asdrugs, violence and peace as opposed to war. His photographic book, Portraits of Life, dedicated four different sections to drugs, violence, and peace with a fourth section in which the models simulate the "dream" of "better expectations".

In the field of communication, Magliozzi led as president the "top of the jury examining the works" of one of the largest photographic competitions ever held in Trieste: Communicating with images: photography. The competition as explained by Il Piccolo was a "'competition of ideas', a small laboratory of color, ideas, techniques and interpretations to highlight the entire territory of Trieste, at its best-known corners or niches to be rediscovered [...] is part of the recent proposals launched by 'Il Giulia per Trieste', a form of support for the enhancement of the city."
