Paolo Zerbini is born in Mantova, Italy but moves to the UK aged 20 to study photography. Starts assisting in London shortly after and begins his career as a photographer in the UK. His personal work is often inspired by childhood memories and characterized by warm tones and an instinctive approach to shooting. In 2018 together with friend Ivan Ruberto, Paolo started Bellissimo, a photographic concept project masked as a magazine. Paolo has previously self published two books independently distributed world wide. Paolo now lives between Milan and London.

We talk about his start in photography, how boredom and brutal feedback are important for self improvement and of course about Bellissimo Magazine's philosophy.
