ABOUT Leonardo
As Leonardo Sarzi Braga, my journey through life has been nothing short of a grand tour across cultures, cities, and artistic expressions. Born in the enchanting city of Paris and carrying the rich Italian heritage of my family, I've lived in Milan, London, back to Paris, and now find myself rooted in Washington D.C. This tapestry of experiences has painted my world in vivid hues, with each city adding a layer of depth and perspective to my work in photography and music.
Italian culture, with its profound appreciation for beauty, art, and the zest of life, pulses through my veins every day. It's a constant reminder of my roots and the lens through which I view the world. This cultural backdrop has been instrumental in shaping my approach to art, guiding me to seek beauty in the ordinary and to capture the essence of moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Whether it's the simple architecture of stairs or the play of light and shadow, I strive to photographize the world in a way that brings its hidden stories to light.
Music and photography have always been my dual passions, two sides of the same coin that allow me to express the full spectrum of my creativity. From a young age, I've been drawn to the underground and the undiscovered, those artists and sounds that operate below the mainstream radar. This pursuit of the unique and the authentic has influenced not just my musical tastes but also my approach to DJing, where I aim to create soundscapes that complement my visual narratives, offering an immersive experience that is both intimate and expansive.
Writing this from Washington D.C., I am reminded of how my journey—across continents and through cultures—has enriched my perspective and my art. My Italian heritage and the diverse cities I've called home have collectively shaped my approach to life and creativity. They've taught me to cherish the depth of the mundane, to listen for the whispers of the unconventional, and to always, always express the truth of the moment through my work.
For those who wish to explore the intersections of music and photography with me, or to embark on a creative collaboration that seeks to uncover the beauty in the overlooked, I invite you to reach out. Let's create something unforgettable together.
