Originally from Sicily, Italy, Di Gregorio (b.1979) is an award-winning photographer. His work draws on themes of cultural diversity and social fabrics. Di Gregorio has a way of going straight to the core of matters; he unveils the raw essence of the places and communities he photographs. This is both the result of serious historical and anthropological research and of his innate intuition, coupled with a total immersion in the community and places he photographs.

Despite the different subject and topics, his strong visual style is consistent throughout his practice and informs his visual storytelling. Deeply attentive, the artist endeavours to throw new light on his subjects through photography in quietly intimate, candid imagery and portraiture.

In 2014 he won the Sony World Photography Award, Sports category, for a project on the ancient Indian Art of Wrestling called “Kushti”. In 2016 he was invited by the Cuban Cultural Minister to create a project about Cuban culture producing his next project called “Las Comparsas de Cuba”, exhibited at the Fototeca de Cuba in Havana and published by The Guardian and CNN.

In 2019 his project “Taliami e te fazzu petra”, which recalled the myth of Medusa and was photographed in the biggest red light district of Europe, has been selected at Red Hook Lab New Artist III, and published by i-D, Vice, UNSEEN, It’s Nice That and many more.

Di Gregorio has shot for Vogue America, Vogue Italia, W Magazine and Gucci and has been published by The Guardian, National Geographic, CNN, Die Zeit, Rolling Stone Italia, Purple, Beauty Paper, Groove, Vanity Fair Italia, The British Journal of Photography, The Independent Magazine, Creative Review, to mention a few.
