Cristiano Bendinelli was born in Lucca, Italy, in 1969. His initial experiences were in fashion, until he started to follow a direction more suited to him: Since 1999 he has dedicated himself to realities “on the edge,” shooting the daily desperation and troubles of several countries all over the world. His photo-reportages have been published in various magazines, including Io Donna-Il Corriere della Sera, New York Time, International Herald Tribune, Le Mond, Vanity Fair Italia, Venerdi di Repubblica, Left/Avvenimenti.
In 2009, he directed his first documentary, “MurATTORI”.
Currently he's represented by the Luzphoto agency (luzphoto.com)
