"I'm interested in photographing the essence of who people really are, not their everyday mask. I'm genuinely engaged and I have the ability to engage people and make them feel safe, at ease, and have a fun experience," he says.

Guido Venitucci
I’ve always loved photography, but I haven’t always been a photographer.
Born in Rome, Italy where I also studied Drama, I came to the U.S in 1994. I worked for many years in theatre and TV while practicing photography as a hobby. In fact, fellow actors and workers on the sets became my first subjects as I honed my craft and became more and more interested in it as a profession. I spent some time teaching acting and later opened my own theatre/acting studio in Manhattan called "The Actor's Playground" with my wife Heather. We had a great run producing original work before closing due to the aftermath of September 11th.
Through hard work and generous referrals, I’ve gained recognition for my portraits and commercial work in the health and beauty industries. Happily based in Brooklyn, NY, I feel very fortunate to have people in my life that have always supported my talent. I look forward to doing the same for others through my work as a photographer.
