mixed-up
Finally I can officially announce my new photo exhibition mixed-up, happening in Firenze (my hometown) Feb. 10th / March 10th, 2012.
The exhibition collects a few examples of my photography spanning the last few years and comprising Lomo and Holga prints, Polaroid reproductions on plexiglass panels, large-format iPhoneography prints and so on…
The page dedicated to the exhibition is already up at http://aledigangi.com/mixedup (sorry, Italian only for the moment), while Facebook events will appear shortly.
This post will get updated as soon as more news will be available.
And the sky went red
A new psychedelic pop manipulation today available for sale at my Artflakes profile.

PEOPLE I KNOW
My new book is finally available on Blurb as a pocket printed edition (unexpensive) and as an ebook as well.
The book collects a series of portraits of people I know and love, taken in more than one year.
All photos have been taken taken & processed with an iPhone and using the FXPhotoStudio app, making a few custom presets for these portraits.
Go see it for yourself at Blurb, and order your copy today!
Today, the International iPhoneography Show opens in New York
You should not miss this exhibition if you happen to be in New York.
I have been selected too!
[UPDATED] …and more exhibitions (Pixel This)
Pixel This - a Phoneography exhibition, runs from November 28 until December 3 at the Gallery on the Corner in Battersea Park, London - and I am one the photographers selected.
What makes this particularly special is that all the photographs will be auctioned off to raise money for Kids Company, an organization reaching 14,000 children across London providing practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people.
The exhibition was created by CreateHive, a site dedicated to recognising photographers, film-makers, artists and creatives, to showcase their work to the general public.
Here is the list of exhibitors and if you are interested in a copy of the image above, you can find it here, here or here - but if you can, check out the exhibition and don’t forget to go to the auction on Friday December 2nd!
UPDATE: the auction has taken place and I am told my photo was auctioned for £90!
I would like to be able and personally thank the buyer.
Interviews!
Lately I have been almost too busy trying to follow too many things at the same time: a couple of invitations for exhibiting my photographs, the Lumix contest, The International iPhoneography Show in New York, the new short movie I started shooting 2 days ago with directing partner Malvenuti, the book I am preparing, everyday work at the usual office, some bits of personal life and so on… while things seem to keep happening around me.
There are two new interviews that were published during the weekend, and here they are for you to enjoy reading:
- PHOTOS HAPPEN! an interview with HONK! Magazine where I also discuss the impact that photography has had in my life;
- the latest EYEEM Spotlight, titled “Style is everything” – An Interview With Ale di Gangi where the interviewer and the interviewed had a lot of fun doing a video interview and discussed… lots of things!
I would like to thank all those interesting people who are showing interest in my works - I am grateful for all this!
Recovered shot: Stars in the sink
originally uploaded on Flickr: July 2007
We all look at the stars, even though we all are in a sink…
This photo has been featured on the Polaroid Gallery of the New York Times’ “LENS” (check on page 2).
This one Polaroid shot is possibly my favourite in my collection, one I am proud of and for a long list of reasons: from how I took it to the satisfactions it has given me, being selected for important galleries such as the New York Times “LENS” cited above and publications around the world.

Recovered shots are a selection of photos I previously posted on Flickr that I consider worth of further exposure.
The director is about to shoot again
It’s official: I started working on a new short movie, once more with Cristiano Malvenuti, the co-director of the now (in)famous “Investigation of citizens above all suspicions” we made in 2008.
It’s yet too early to say more on the project, but soon official news will be available - and we will start shooting in a marvelous location in Firenze.
In the meantime, follow our Malvenuti & Di Gangi Facebook page to be updated on news as they start flowing and answer the call for extras we’ll announce soon there!

An interview for Lumix Italia
Lumix Lifestyle Italia just published an interview with yours truly after kindly asking me to be part of the jury of photographers for a photo contest to be be launched later this month.
Check the official Lumix community (here is the Facebook page) to be updated on the official submissions opening!
The interview is in Italian and can also be found at Tiragraffi - one of the best curated Italian blogs on communication - with the title “Un fotografo inincasellabile” [roughly translates to English as “A photographer you can’t classify”].
