About

Nicola Fioravanti (b. 1985) is an Italian photographer based in Paris.

His journey into photography was unconventional; after a successful career as a musician with ensembles such as the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and the Munich Chamber Orchestra, and innovative work as a creative developer on collaborative projects with Codecademy and Google, he fully transitioned to photography.

His work reflects a continuous exploration of the expressive potential of color in urban environments. Rather than using color merely as a means of representing reality, he employs it as the defining element of his photography.

Nicola Fioravanti has earned recognition in some of the world's most prestigious photography competitions, including the Sony World Photography Awards, International Photography Awards (IPA), Le Prix de la Photographie de Paris (PX3), the 1839 Awards, and the ND Awards, among others.

His photographs have been featured in leading international media outlets, including CNN, Corriere della Sera, El País, Forbes, Vogue, La Repubblica, Die Zeit, Marie Claire, Grazia, Elle, and The Guardian.

His work has been exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions at renowned institutions and venues, including Somerset House in London, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the Centro Internazionale di Fotografia Letizia Battaglia in Palermo, the Palais de Tokyo and Sorbonne University in Paris, the Fnac galleries in Lyon and Paris, and Galerie Bab Rouah in Rabat.

He participated in the Getxophoto Festival in Spain in 2024 and 2025, and in 2024 received the Audience Award during an artistic residency at the prestigious Planches Contact Festival in Deauville, under the artistic direction of Laura Serani. He also took part in a collective screening dedicated to Morocco during La Nuit de l’Année at the Rencontres d’Arles 2025.
