Neapolitan vertigo

"Neapolitan Vertigo" is my tribute to the geometric elegance of Naples' Baroque architecture. Through vertical perspectives, I aim to capture the majestic ascent of the city's iconic staircases, projecting them towards the sky and revealing the sublime, hidden soul of Naples.

About Artist

Gian Paolo Russo

Born in Naples in 1974, I am a photographer shaped by years of living abroad and a lifelong habit of observation. My lens is a tool for emotional discovery, focused on my hometown—a place I find deeply "exciting." I am drawn to the vibrant pulse of Neapolitan life, yet I constantly seek its quieter, invisible layers. My work explores the tension between surface energy and hidden silences, capturing the raw, authentic soul of the everyday. For me, photography is more than an image; it is a way to rediscover the beauty tucked away in the shadows of the ordinary.
