Giovanni Savino never received any formal photographic training but loved and practiced photography since childhood. He started to work in film and television when he was sixteen years old and learned the trade hands on, relying on advice from the best photographers and producers in the annals of TV broadcasting. He produced a number of live music recordings and documentary films, mainly in the Dominican Republic, which received positive Media exposure and rapidly became important reference and teaching tools in many academic collections. His desire to deliver a strong yet very concise message made him focus increasingly on still photography during the last decade.
