Manuel Ferrigato photographs an outdoor spread with striking sportsmen & women portraits for AUDI and Philipp und Keuntje

Manuel captures genuine expressions of man and nature. Intimate, at times vulnerable portraits, landscapes of liberatory vastness or the intensity of sports unfold a catching power in the almost incidential moments selected in his work. In his photography Manuel plays with the elements of a given moment: The natural light, the atmosphere of a specific place and how both affect the individual in front of the camera. Each picture points beyond itself. It invites the observer to make up a story on his own. Altogether the images testify an inner attitude of humility and enthusiasm for life in all its forms. Originally from South Tyrol, Italy, Manuel is now based in Munich. His work has been published internationally in campaigns, editorials, catalogs and reportages.
