Emanuela Franchini

Emanuela Franchini was born in Genoa, Italy in 1971. A move to Milan to attend the School for Interpreters and Translators in 1991 did not deter her passion for photography and she continued to explore her creativity amidst her translation studies. A move to London in 1999 fueled her existing passion for photography and she began working with an advertising agency, exploring and developing her visual creativity. In July 2007 her passion began to pay dividends and her image entitled “Cheap 70’s Porn” was used by the New York band The Strokes for the homepage of their website. In a tide of interest that ensued, she delighted in the 2008 Sony World Photography Awards selecting her image “Low Tide” across their website to advertise the photographic award. In 2008 three of her images were published in the October and December issues of the online art magazine Platform58 and the Canadian online magazine Toro Magazine have recently published an interview together with some of her images in the January 2009 issue. In a striking contrast that befits her paradoxical nature, she has been the photographer for the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League at the Field of Remembrance and at the private conference at Canada House with Prince Philip. 2009 and demand for her compositions increases as seven of her images are about to be published in an art booklet by Signum Art Publishing (Italy). She will be part of a joint exhibition with the photographer Cristina Cocullo entitled “Heterological Boundaries” at the Mayfair Library, London during March-April 2009.
