Stefano Crosio was born in Genoa, Italy, and now lives in New York, NY, after periods spent in Milan and Rome, Italy. He graduated in law with honors at the University of Genoa. He attended workshops with master photographers Galen Rowell, George Lepp, Moose Peterson and Charles Glatzer.
Although always interested in photography, he started being deeply committed to nature and wildlife photography as of 2000. The roots of this commitment lie in his passion for wild places and animals. Stefano has been travelling extensively to photograph different environments and animal species around the world. He is extremely fond of Africa where he travelled to the Okavango Delta (Botswana), Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.
Stefano’s work aims at depicting wild nature and creatures in their most beautiful and appealing forms. He strives to make people realize the importance of wildlife protection and to awaken people’s environmentalist conscience.
His work has been published in magazines like U.S. Nature Photographer Magazine, where he also won a cover, and Italy’s Oasis and Asferico, in text books as well as in Web sites like Photographic Vision (http://www.photographic-vision.net/). One of his photographs has won an award in the context of 2003 Italian Grand Prize of Nature Photography.
