Nudes nominee

Model Erika Isacchi
From the series "Mermaids"

Roberto Manetta started his professional photographic career in 1998. He specializes in glamour photography and reportage, including projects that have slowly delved into a very personal search of the mixing and marrying of so called "Creative Nudes" and portraits. As a freelance photographer, Roberto is particularly popular for managing a very suggestive use of shadow and light in portraits and fine art nude and shows a great skill in creating a pleasant blend of documention by telling visual stories of places and characters. After many years of study he has gone from analogic to digital but always trys hard to keep to the ideals, the form and details of classical photography. He lives and works in Rome, where he continues to maintain an active "photographic idea" about the creative nude, showing his work in galleries and art spaces of the capital. Since 2004, he works closely with several artistic groups in the representation of dance, theater and the performing arts related to music. He is also shooting for Actress/Actors agencies in Rome. His photographs have appeared in many national and international books and magazines devoted to the Art of Photography
