Dylan Ricci

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dylan Ricci is a photographer. Ricci was born in Rome and moved to Australia with his family at the age of seven.

While studying sculpture in Florence, Ricci came to believe that the male body, at its physical peak, is the most pure and beautiful form of art. In his quest to escape the depictions of male nudes in contemporary fine art photography, which he often considers cliched, Ricci eschews paraphernalia, and concentrates on lighting, shadow and composition in his attempts to capture the purity, sensuality and sculptural beauty of the male body.

Ricci's depiction of the male nude is similar to that employed by Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston, and other master photographers of the 1920s and 30s.

In addition to being published in a number of international art magazines and fine art photography books, Ricci's male nude photographs are held in galleries and private collections throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. He currently divides his time between Asia and Europe.
