Sergio Petrelli

Sergio Petrelli (b. 1954 in Naples, Italy) is a photographer, art director, and musician based in Rome, Italy. Since the ‘70s he has worked with advertising, corporate, industrial, editorial, and art projects worldwide, establishing photographic studios in Geneva (Switzerland), Toronto (Canada), and Rome (Italy). 

After studying photography at the IED Instituto Europeo di Design, Sergio started his career working with Guido Vanzetti, one of Italy’s earliest experimental photographers, pioneer of computer graphics, animation, and new visual communication. 

Along the years, Sergio created editorial work for the front covers of the prominent Italian weekly magazine L’Espresso; Der Spiegel, one of the largest news magazines in Europe; AudioVisione Hi-Fi magazine; Hasselblad magazine and the award-winning AZURE magazine, an international architecture and design magazine – amongst others. When working for the cinema scene, he produced photographs for renown film directors such as Dario Argento, Marco Ferreri, Nicolas Roeg, Marco Bellocchio, Robert Altman, and Marc Rydell.

While in Switzerland (2008–2011), Sergio worked as photographer and creative director for the international auction house Patrizzi & Co. Auctioneers, specializing in horological items, headquartered in Geneva and with offices in New York, Milan, and Hong Kong. Sergio’s successful work relationship with the company’s founder, Osvaldo Patrizzi – nominated one of the top-20 most influential watchmaking persons of the century – continues to this day on the occasion of exclusive editorial and web design projects. 

Besides his commercial engagements, Sergio continued enjoying photography in his free time, creating artistic images to shape his own visual language and reflect his personal gaze. Those explore a range of themes and photographic styles, pushing the lenses’ boundaries through his fascination for abstract and surrealistic images derived from landscapes and society. 

Often experimenting with different techniques and processes, Sergio continues to use both traditional and digital methods. Despite the passion for his profession will never have him retiring as studio photographer, he is glad to finally have found the time to dedicate to these more personal views of the world.
