Guido Maria Ratti was born in Milan on 20 th February 1975, under Pisces.
He lives and works in Milan, though he does enjoy venturing into cities all over Europe. He graduated in Medieval History in 2001. From 2001 to 2003, he worked in the fields of graphics and video post-production. However, he soon discovered the expressive and narrative qualities of photography and began exploring graphical shapes and silhouettes in urban settings, especially in black and white.
His real vocation emerged when he came into contact with “non-places” such as tunnels and subway and railway stations, and careful observation of the flow of people who frequent them.
His first set of works “Paris Metro” was the fruit of two weeks’ immersion in the vast underground network of the Parisian subway system.
Besides producing his artistic work he is also a professional photographer specialized in the fields of advertising and reporting.
