Biography
Caroline Gavazzi is a Franco-Italian photographer
based in London. She has been seeing the world
through a viewfinder since receiving her first camera
at the age of 13.
After training at Spéos photographic school in Paris in 1991, she graduated from the Sorbonne in 1994 (Maîtrise in Geography and Urbanism). In 1995 Caroline moved to London and obtained an MA in Professional Photography Practice (PPP) at the London College of Printing and Communication (LCC) while working as a freelance assistant to a number of well known photographers, including Michael Thompson, Hiromasa, Jean-Jacques Castre and Martyn Thompson as well as photographic studios in Paris and London.
Caroline worked full time as Picture Coordinator in the Art Department at Vogue UK in 1996 and as Picture Editor at Harvey Nichols Magazine (HN Magazine) in 1997. In 1998, Caroline began to work as a full time freelance photographer, focusing on interiors, still life and portraits, and has since then been published in many magazines including Vogue, House & Garden and Elle.
In parallel to her commercial career, Caroline has always avidly pursued her passion for artistic photography, leading to the production of several collections. Her work explores themes inspired by her heritage, culture and childhood. In particular, she is drawn to every day objects, landscapes and scenes which through her lens acquire a soul of their own, stunning the spectator.
