Artist’s Statement

Alessandro Bianchetti is an international artist with background in social science and human psychology. Born and raised in Brescia (Italy), he is currently based in Perth Western Australia, where he works as a photographer and documentary film-maker.

In addition to his commercial practice Alessandro has been developing his personal work, collaborating with other visual artists, including David Brophy on the work “one and three” as well as undertaking his own projects. This included returning to study, where he took out the best photography student and best book awards in the Advanced Diploma of Photography course run by North Metropolitan TAFE.
