Massimo Leardini

August 17 - September 15, 2018

Orginally from Cattolica, in the Italian Province of Rimini,
Massimo Leardini has lived and worked in Norway since 1987 and become one of the most sought-after photographers in Scandinavia. His work, which has received numerous awards and prizes, appears regulary in leading magazines, including Elle, D 2, S-Magazine, Smug and Personae.

Rooted in the classical tradition, Leardini uses his unique aesthetic sensibility to capture the human body in harmony with the timeless Scandinavian landscape. Despite the seeming purity and innocence of these candid moments, a quite sense of melancholy pervades and hint at a deeper undercurrent of Nordic angst.
In Iselin, Massimo Leardini`s latest exhibition and book he presents a series of intimate portraits of norwegian model Iselin Steiro. Through its visual language and aesthetic sense, the human body is portrayed in harmony with the Scandinavian landscape. Placing the integrity of his work above everything else, Leardini is never willing to compromise on his vision, and these images successfully create a timeless story of female adoration and empowerment – no clothes, no barriers, no messing !
