"Daniele Dainelli was born in 1967 in Livorno.
He is a talented photographer with a particular chromatic delicacy and the distinctive ability to analyse thoroughly. Because of his skills he is very appreciated by the most important International magazines. Dainelli began his professional career in 1992, as assistant in a photo studio specialized in still life and fashion. His first professional work is a calendar realized with portraits to famous Italian athletes, assigned by Tuscany region. The first reportages he realized are "Growing in Bosnia" (exhibited at The Museum Ken Damy in Brescia) and "The Silence of Survivors", on the condition of Serbians isolated in Krajina (exhibited in Milan and Bassano del Grappa, during the anniversary of the Declaration of the Human Rights at Palazzo Roberti). In Kosovo, at the end of the war, Dainelli started experimenting color photography, achieving a qualitative leap. Then he started working on "Metropolis", an ambitious color work on the most important cities worldwide. This reportage, that stems from a new look over New York after September 11th, has attracted the attention of the most prestigious International magazines. At the same time he carried out a project about artists' communities, as well as their creative and exhibition spaces in Europe and USA. This reportage, also known as "Le Stanze dell'Arte" (Art Rooms), won the Canon Prize 2002 in the "Best Project" category.
Afterwards he spent much time on a project, in collaboration with the Osservatorio sui Balcani Institution, about the Balkan area, travelling in all of its countries. In 2003 he was selected to take part at "Circa 35" exhibition, held at Fotografia (International Festival of Rome). In the same year FNAC Italia assigned him a pocket diary for 2004, which then became a touring exhibition across Italy in all FNAC shops. His journey continued across various spots of the world. In 2004, after realizing two city portraits in India (Mumbai and New Delhi), he moves to Tokyo, where throughout his images he tells the city present, allowing to figure its future: hard and dehumanizing, still full of surprises and a fascination that is hard to resist.
At the same time Dainelli is working on different projects, such as Ho Chi Minh City city portrait, thirty years after its liberation. Dainelli's stay in the Far East will lead him to document other countries of the area.
Daniele Dainelli joined Contrasto in 1999."
