The search for Hope

Photographer Michele Mancano captured Valentina Tota 
for a KALTBLUT exclusive editorial. Make up by Antonella Errico. Michele Mancano was born in Corato, in Puglia.
He discovered his passion for photography almost for fun. With great curiosity, he begins to appear in this new world for him, capturing the most varied nuances.

He discovers he has a natural propensity for portraits. He is self-taught thanks to the strength of his passion, inspired by the great masters of photography, such as Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton and Peter Lindbergh.

In 2014 he moved to Milan driven by the desire to deepen his studies, and there he was immediately attracted to the photography of large billboards and glossy magazine covers.
He graduated from the “Italian Institute of Photography”, paying particular attention to advertising and fashion photography. He collaborates with several magazines during the “Fashion Week” in Milan.
Profession and passion are the basis of his work.
