Italian photographer, Simone Bramante, spent the first ten years of his career working at communications and advertising agencies. His foray into photography happened after he began taking photos with an old-fashioned Canon 300 film camera and "fell in love with the grainy feel" of black and white images. That was over 15 years ago; today, he has a huge instagram following of over 760K.

Simone has said that he tries to interact with the natural elements through his photography and his images' compositions boast saturated colors and intense expressions of feelings. Although he is based in Bologna, Italy, Simone frequently travels the world. His wide array of highbrow clients include Santoni, Christian Dior, Absolut Vodka and Maserati among many others.
