Ferrari divides his time between personal projects and collaborations with brands, developing a language that draws on the visual arts generally.
Alecio Ferrari‘s photography celebrates objects and makes compositions out of them. His subjects are extremely wide-ranging – design pieces, cars, clothes – he has worked for Flos, Nike, Aspesi, Off-White, Golden Goose, Audi and Miu Miu, amongst others – as well as objects in everyday use, such as a knife resting on a chopping board or a basic life kit (an alarm clock, a comb, a cigarette lighter, a smartphone, a button etc.).

Generally backlit, chiaroscuro or see-through effects and an assortment of manipulations contrive to lift his work out of the natural and ordinary, in an approach that seems to look to Man Ray and Surrealist photography.

His images are heavily processed, he is not content simply with portraying and documenting, less interested in the naked entity as in its latent magical possibilities.
