Alessandro Cimma is a photographer born and based in Italy.
Growing up surrounded by mountains and nature, he spent much of his early life outdoors, practicing numerous sports and eventually becoming a ski instructor in the Aosta Valley at the age of twenty. That close relationship with landscape and physical experience would later shape the way he approaches photography and storytelling.
He later moved to Milan to pursue artistic studies and, during the years of the COVID-19 pandemic, joined the CESURA studio as an assistant, where he spent two formative years working alongside established photographers and developing his own visual language.
Shortly after graduating, he opened two exhibitions in the Aosta Valley, marking the beginning of his independent path as an author.
Following these first exhibitions, he worked with the photo agencies Fotogramma and LaPresse, publishing images across major Italian and international newspapers. During this period he began working regularly with national outlets such as Corriere della Sera, la Repubblica, Avvenire, Libero, and other editorial platforms.
Today he works as a freelance photojournalist based in Milan and is a member of the Memora Photographic Collective. His work focuses on documenting the relationship between human beings and the environments they inhabit, exploring social, political, and cultural dynamics through long-term observation and on-the-ground reporting.
Alongside editorial assignments, he develops independent cultural projects that deepen the themes he encounters in the field, often leading to exhibitions, public discussions, and collaborative initiatives that expand photography beyond the page and into shared spaces of reflection.
