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 globally, featured in both solo and group exhibitions at renowned venues such as Somerset House in London, 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 2024 and 2025, and received the Audience Award in 2024 during an artistic residency at the prestigious Festival Planches Contact in Deauville, directed by Laura Serani.

In 2025, Nicola Fioravanti's project Morocco, Sentimental Atlas, curated by Daniela Brignone, was showcased at the Centro Internazionale di Fotografia Letizia Battaglia in Palermo, marking Italy's inaugural official exhibition dedicated to Morocco. Later that year, the exhibition will be presented at Galerie Bab Rouah in Rabat, Morocco, from December 1 to 18, 2025. Additionally, it will feature in a group exhibition on Morocco during La Nuit de l’Année at the Rencontres d'Arles.
