Giuliana Gibelli has always cultivated her great passion for all forms of art by taking courses in painting and sculpture. She attended the Holden creative writing school in Turin and enrolled in the annual course in Photography and Photojournalism at the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin with Professor Angelo Schwarz. Giuliana attended courses with famous photographers, such as Enzo Dal Verme , Fabio Costì , Silvia Camporesi and Giovanni Gastel.
She opened a photographic studio in Lugano and loves portraying people by creating the script and by looking for objects, backdrops, clothes and locations. Each project represents a story or a mind state. Her photographs are very painterly, especially in the search for light. Her photographic work covers the fields of fashion, architecture, dance, portraiture and food.
Giuliana has held solo and group photography exhibitions in Switzerland, Italy and Germany and her photographs have been published in numerous international publications (e.g. in PHOTO). For 8 years, she is collaborating with OtherMovie Lugano Film Festival with photographic exhibitions relating to the theme of each edition. Giuliana has received numerous awards for her work, at PHOTOSUISSE, but also outside Switzerland, such as the Honorable Mention Monovision Photography Award in London in 2021 and her work was among the 10 best portraits awarded by MyNikon in 2017.
