Andrea Papi (1978) was born in Rome, where he lives and works.

He studied at Vision Photo Agency in Rome and then he started to work as assistant of the fashion photographer Roberta Krasnig. From the beginning he shows a passion for medium format cameras and the lomographic camera Holga. With the latter he continues his artistic research about the female figure, in a often dreamlike and oniric prospective. His photo books have been published on some magazines, such as Vogue Sposa, Invidia Magazine, and Overview.
