Alessandro Bianchetti is an international cinematographer and photographer, with a background in social science and human psychology.

Born and raised in Brescia (Italy), he is currently based in Perth Western Australia, where he calls this place home.


Alessandro graduated with distinction as best student and best book of the year, at the Advanced Diploma of Photography from North Metropolitan TAFE (Perth, Western Australia).
​
He inherited the passion for photography from his two older brothers at an early age, but only kicked off in 2005 when the oldest gave him his first camera.
In 2007 began his career in the photography industry, when had the opportunity to start photographing sports teams, events, and a few local newspapers. Considering himself lucky to had the opportunity to work alongside the talented photographer, artist and what he recognises as his earlier mentor Paolo Red (Paolo Spinoni). Thanks to Paolo he got kicked into the professional field early in his career. As far as he remembers, he started to be commercially commissioned and shoot just after completing his first basic camera course.

Since landing in Australia in 2012, Alessandro has extended his skills to artists' performances and art galleries. Over the last decade, he documented exhibitions, artist performance, shows, and opening nights for the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, Curtin University, Seva & Frangos, Sacred India art gallery, and many others.
Alessandro also collaborated with visual artist David Brophy on the work “one and three”, which was exhibited as a finalist in the 2014 Victoria Park Art Awards. In addition, in 2015, he won the City of Subiaco's photographic award. In 2017 Alessandro founded a commercial photographic business called Luce Photography.
In 2022 one of the photographs from his book "Wishing Things Were Different" was selected as a semifinalist at the renowned photo festival "Head On Portrait Award 2022" in Bondi Beach, Sydney.

Nowadays he specialises his video and photography qualities towards commercial works such as fashion branding, interiors, real estate, professional headshots and beauty portraits.

Alessandro also currently works on his personal projects tower the release of his first book and his exhibition. With this collection, he creates rather than takes images by mixing real people and locations. 
He carefully arranges his scenes using detailed lighting and framing and includes both cinematic documentary and staged photography; his series of theatrical large scale colour prints are carefully constructed, straddling reality and fiction, leaving the spectators wondering what is truly happening within the scenes; his photographs indicate rather than elucidates a complete story.
​Alessandro’s artworks are influenced by popular culture, history, film, television, literature, and his childhood memories and personal experiences.
