EXPHLORER depicts 4 sides of my persona: Photographer, Author, Mountaineer, Sailor.
By hovering with a mouse or tapping with a smartphone, you can see the 4 quarters become whole.
Maurizio Milesi
Maurizio Milesi was born in 1993 in Alzano Lombardo, near Bergamo. He graduated in Communication Sciences with a thesis in Semiotics of Portraiture, and it is through portraiture that in 2020 he narrated the places where he has always lived, overwhelmed by Covid19. Focusing on the faces, and looks, of the inhabitants of the Seriana Valley, he sought to make visible the effects, not only physical, but psychological, of the epidemic. And his shots, exhibited in various cities, later became a book, “Epicentro.”
He favors portraiture because more than shapes, light, and colors, he is interested in emotions. Because he maintains that in the end what matters, what remains, are the people.
He wrote “The Whys of Photography” (Blurb Books 2020), a short essay on the choice of photography as a medium of expression.

PORTABLE, PORTRAITABLE ®
PORTABLE, PORTRAITABLE was an idea born when my friends gifted me this photographic backpack back when I graduated. The idea is simple: being able to travel anywhere, to tell your stories. The pun – intended – is that as a portrait photographer I am able to shoot your portraits (portrait-able) and also to be portable. Which it rhymes.
