This Is Chicago (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9788833670034)

Luigi Bortoluzzi has been working with images since the 1970s. He graduated from the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome (Italy's National Film School) and then moved to Milan. His work has two main strands: the production of photographs, mainly women's portraits, for private collectors on one hand, and images aimed at a larger audience on the other hand. Linked to this latter area of work are the books Truck's Noses and Autos de Cuba, published by Gribaudo, and the exhibitions European Urban Landscape (Rome, Venice) and 'Imaginary Magazines' (Modena) and the site-specific 'Belluno Oriental Summer: Photographs post Cold War'. He shoots mainly in black and white with a 'rough', grainy style.
