DISTURBER MAGAZINE finally sprang to life outside of its founders’ mind at the beginning of 2011 and is keen to offer you pictures from young, emerging photographers.
Poetic of immediateness, search for an edgy essentiality, lo-fi aesthetic which maintains the subject as its primary focus: DISTURBER is a show of brash, fearless, in-your-face, challenging, perturbing, stirring pictures – to portray in a provocative way the time we live in.
Insights in the world of photography and weekly interviews will inspire you and keep alive your sense of wonder.
Maurizio Di Iorio
As decadent and raw as his native soil, you might guess from his work quite an interest in beautiful women (and you’d hit the jackpot) but there’s much more to him. After managing not to sell his soul to the devil during his previous career in the sinful world of advertising, he decided to dedicate himself to his passion for photography. DISTURBER sprang out of his love for unadulterated, no-filters art over the all-too-glossy artifices of most of modern photography – and, yeah, he’s the boss around here, so be respectful.
Cecilia Manfredi
A few days after she was born, the Berlin Wall came down – but she insists there’s no relation. Her mood eternally swinging between maudlin and manic, she succeeds in pulling through thanks to her unquestionable brilliance. A somewhat strong inclination towards cats, pretty boys and odd names for body parts can sometimes be troublesome unless you are provided with a firm mind – otherwise, it’ll be a tunnel of silliness. She loves: books where characters tend to suffer a lot and black and white films. She hates: bad translations and bed hair.
Aryanà Francesca Urbani
She was born in Tehran, in 1991. She grew up traveling, and is now based in Paris (for the time being). She shoots with only one camera, and plays drums.
Alessia Marchioro
She was born in 1981 and ran away from home for the first time when she was two and a half. Her first twenty-four years were spent in a harmonic hustle and bustle among Ponte di Barbarano, Vicenza, Padova and Berlin. Since 2006 she has lived in Milan, and until 2011 she has worked for the italian version of American magazine Vice, producing on-line and off-line content and projects for Italian and foreign brands such as Adidas, Camper, Diesel, Lee, Converse, Nike, Stone Island, 55dsl, Yoox.com, Gas, Footlocker. At the same time, she graduated in Communication Sciences in Padova, got a Photography qualification at cfp Bauer and tried to teach herself to like the city. It hasn’t been easy.
Fabio Astone
They say people born on islands might be somewhat strange, but he seems fairly normal – if you do not count the fact that he’s a photographer reluctant to be photographed (you know, artists). And he loves London and English music, but not tea. And he’s keen on natural light, but dislikes the wind. However, we can vouch for him: inspired by cinema (especially the French New Wave) and street fashion, he worked in London and Milan as assistant photographer; he’s fond of Polaroids and admires a respectable as diverse quartet as Richardson, Goldin and McGinley.
