Sony has announced its first four Italian Sony Global Imaging Ambassadors. The international programme, launched in 2014, sees Sony collaborate with some of the worlds best and brightest contemporary photographic artists, diverse in both style and geographical location, under the banner of the quality and beauty of photography.
The new Italian Ambassadors, Alfredo D'Amato, Luigi Baldelli, Alessandro Grassani and Amedeo Novelli, are all professional photographers with years of experience working in both Italy and abroad, as well as collaborating with prestigious national and international magazines. Each has his own personal stylistic identity and vision of photography and the photographic medium.
Through this programme, Sony supports photographers at both national and international level by lending them its technical expertise and giving them the chance to try out ground-breaking products, while at the same time sharing their work on https://imagingambassadors.sony.net/ in order to create storytelling through images, an extraordinary archive of stories from around the world that speak of the here and now.
The role of the photographer has a strong cultural and social value, as, through their work, they must be the bearer of ethical values, capable of elevating photography to an art form and a communication and information tool. These are elements which Sony values, particularly in its position not just as a manufacturer, but also as a company committed to supporting the world of photography, as demonstrated by our partnership with the World Photography Organisation through the Sony World Photography Awards, the largest international photography competition, now in its ninth year, says St phane Labrousse, Country Head of Sony in Italy. I am happy to announce today the addition of four Italian photographers to the Sony Global Imaging Ambassador programme because I think it is important that Italy is represented, especially in light of the great value accorded to Italian photographers internationally. Among other things, Alessandro Grassani was also a runner-up at the Sony World Photography Awards.
Alfredo D'Amato believes in the emotional power of any long-term project which stems from a personal interest, a deep inner thinking or a particularly touching event. This is evident in his photographs taken in the Cameroon forest. He was there to illustrate the life of refugees in central Africa, but was subsequently drawn to the massive exploitation of the forest for commercial purposes. He spent three months with the indigenous populations, who opened the doors of the forest to him, supporting him in his storytelling (in the photo). In my view, photography is a visual language and a personal way to express emotions and portray people, environments and events, says D'Amato. Therefore, a photographer is someone who re-presents reality in his own language.

Luigi Baldelli is a photojournalist known for his focus on and sensitivity to social issues. From refugee conditions to drought in Africa, from war in Afghanistan to Brazils Landless Workers Movement, from the tragedy of the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone (in the photo) to narcos in Mexico, Baldelli always puts mankind at the centre of his story. Humanity, respect, truth, describes his work. For me, photography does not give answers, but evokes emotions and questions. Link: http://luigibaldelli.photos/
Amedeo Novelli, founder and director of Witness Journal, lends his photographic expertise to a number of initiatives, from participating in social training projects to collaborating with some of the worlds leading brands. Everything about mankind interests me, from our emotions to our relationship with our surroundings, he says. If I were forced to give a definition of my photography, I would most likely use the term social, although in a very wide sense of the term. One of his latest works is called Metropolitan Solitude (in the photo) and is marked by anonymous faces and urban architecture. Link: http://www.amedeonovelli.com/
The Sony Global Imaging Ambassadors programme has been designed in partnership with the World Photography Organisation (WPO), known for organising in addition to numerous photographic events and activities the Sony World Photography Awards, the worlds largest photography competition.
