Paolo Pellizzari’s practice stems from the German School of Photography, merging formal structure with social complexity.

Working in panoramic format, he explores the human landscape—crowds, rituals, urban density—as visual ecosystems. His lens functions as both mirror and microscope: capturing the simultaneity of the fleeting and the composed.

Rooted in the tradition of the flâneur, he immerses himself in public space, attentive to the choreography of the everyday. Within each frame—dense with detail—a central figure is often caught at a decisive moment, rendering the image iconic.

Pellizzari’s work questions visibility, anonymity, and collective behavior through spatial narrative.

Books such as The Tours of the World, The broadway, One billion Indians, Paris Metro reflect his sustained inquiry into movement and spectacle. His images have been shown internationally, including at the Shanghai World Expo, The Museum of Charleroi the European Parliament and several galleries in the world.

He teaches at “La Cambre” School of Visual Art Brussels in the photography section.
