GUIDO ARGENTINI

Guido Argentini Biography- Mr. Argentini was born and raised in Florence, Italy. He spent three years attending medical school before deciding, at age 23, to follow his passions and pursue a career as a fashion and beauty photographer. He currently lives between Italy and U.S.A., spending the majority of his time in Los Angeles.

In 2003, Guido Argentini’s first book, Silvereye, presented an exquisite series of studio and landscape nudes. That work was a reflection of the artist’s great personal passion for sculpture and dance.

“The photographs in this book are part of an absolutely new personal quest based on my great love for sculpture and dance, which lasted from 1984 to 1996 and which I financed entirely on my own. I was heavily influenced by the art of Constantin Brancusi, whose primeval sculptures of polished bronze made me aware of the fascination of the absolute. That is why I used a silver paint to emphasize the body form of my models”









In his second book, Private Rooms, 2005, Mr. Argentini offers an entirely different type of personal journey, one where eroticism and beauty are clearly inseparable. Within these pages, we are invited to take a glimpse into a unique ‘feminine universe’. This second book is the result of ten years of photographs, all taken in the intimacy of closed rooms, ancient villas, modern apartments, many hotels, from the most elegant five-star locations enriched with luxurious velvets and four-posted beds to the most squalid insignificant hourly-rate motels furnished with cheap plastic chairs and worn-out wallpaper.A universe where all these rooms become the theaters of the artist’s self-directed voyeuristic fantasies.

All photographs are available as limited edition fine art photography prints, signed and numbered by Guido Argentini. Some photographs are available to view and are exhibited in the Los Angeles gallery, all photographs are available framed or unframed.
