RITRATTO D’AUTORE MILANO

Gianluigi, when I talk to you, something happens: I stop seeing you. You disappear, only to reappear sometime later through your photographs. It’s as if you had the gift of invisibility — which, for a photographer, is what a voice is to a singer: everything.
— Francesco De Gregori
A PORTRAIT THAT TELLS YOUR STORY
For over forty years, I’ve photographed people, artists and celebrities. Each time, I look for the same thing: what makes each person unique.
For me, photography is an act of love. An encounter in which, for a few moments, I become your mirror. Discover Ritratto d’Autore
AN ENDLESS MOMENT
There are moments we wish to celebrate, and others when we feel the need to reconnect with ourselves. Sometimes, what we want to preserve is not a moment, but a new image of ourselves.
Ritratto d’Autore begins with an encounter — one that will always hold a special place in our lives. Let’s imagine it together
THE GIFT OF SOMETHING YET TO EXIST
An envelope. An invitation.
And a work of art born from the person who receives it. Discover the invitation
THE EXPERIENCE, IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Discovering an unexpected, beautiful side of myself. Feeling completely at ease in a photography studio.
Overcoming my shyness and behaving naturally in front of the camera, almost like a model. All without embarrassment or difficulty. That’s how I felt.
Gianluigi has a remarkable ability to make you feel immediately at ease, as though you were in a familiar setting. He captured who I am, adding the beauty that comes from his meticulous preparation for every shot.
His technical skill and sensitivity produced a surprising result. He brought out a side of me I didn’t even know existed, one that isn’t always easy to reveal in everyday life. Knowing that I can be this person, and seeing myself in these photographs, makes me very happy. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of working with Gianluigi, whom I chose for both our friendship and his professionalism. We spent an intense, rewarding and enjoyable day together.
Gianluigi knew exactly how to create the atmosphere I was looking for, through his sensitive use of light and the choice of a special location.
As the daughter of a photographer, being in front of a camera isn’t easy for me. Yet Gianluigi made me feel completely at ease, allowing me to freely express an aspect of my work that isn’t immediately visible.
I teach yoga and work with therapeutic sound. It’s not easy to move beyond the familiar conventions of yoga poses, which photography often reduces to clichés. But thanks to the connection we established, I truly believe we achieved what we set out to do!

My photoshoot with Gianluigi was one of the most extraordinary I’ve ever experienced in Milan.
There was an incredible atmosphere in the studio, which helped create just the right mood for the shoot.
I really enjoyed working with Gianluigi Di Napoli. Everything felt so cool, and we truly connected. He managed to capture not only my beauty, but also my true soul.
He’s someone who really feels who you are, and it shows in his photographs.
