Fine art photo - Capri

Born in Capri in 1963, at 22 years of age Umberto d'Aniello was awarded a grant by the Axel Munthe Foundation which permitted the promising young photographer to travel to Paris where he was to discover the works of Edouard Boubat, Robert Doiseau and Cartier Bresson. Encounters with Mimmo Jodice, Eikoh Hosoe and Franco Fontana further inspired this talented self taught artist and paved the way to d'Aniello establishing himself as one of Capri's most eminent photographers.
The Capri Review Magazine placed him alongside artists of the caliber of Fulvio Roiter, Mimmo Jodice and Helmut Newton as one of the finest photographers to have captured the island of Capri on film.
His numerous one man exhibitions have included the "Amada Havana" at the Museum of Brescia in 2000 and "Visione della Isola" at Munich's Hartman Photo Gallery in 2003.
Umberto d'Aneillo's photos have been used to illustrate "Footnote to Capri" (2003) and La Jeunesse d'Amour (2005) by Norman Douglas, both editions published by LA CONCHIGLIA.
