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.

Nicola Fioravanti’s work has been exhibited internationally, both in solo and group shows, at prominent venues including Somerset House in London, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Sorbonne University, Centquatre-Paris, and the Fnac galleries in Lyon and Paris. He participated in the Getxophoto Festival in Spain in both 2024 and 2025, receiving the Audience Award in 2024 during an artistic residency at the prestigious Festival Planches Contact in Deauville, under the direction of Laura Serani. In 2025, he also took part in a group screening dedicated to Morocco during La Nuit de l’Année at the Rencontres d'Arles.

That same year, his project Morocco, Sentimental Atlas, curated by Daniela Brignone, was presented at the Centro Internazionale di Fotografia Letizia Battaglia in Palermo — a public institution — marking the first official exhibition in Italy, supported by the Italian state, dedicated entirely to Morocco. The exhibition is scheduled to travel to Morocco, where it will be shown at Galerie Bab Rouah in Rabat from December 1 to 18, 2025.
