Edoardo Agresti
Born in Florence, Edoardo inherited his father’s passion for travel and for photography so much so it became his profession. Edoardo’s travels began at the age of 9 (he has travelled on more than 130 expeditions all over the world) and has allowed him to develop a special sensitivity in his mind and heart allowing him to grasp reality in all its beauty and depth.
His photography is reportage - whether it be a trip, a wedding or a backstage event. His meetings with important international photographers has allowed him to grow and learn to photograph in relation to his subject. The advice and teachings of Steve McCurry on the study of light were valuable lessons and left an indelible mark on his way to shoot photography. For the last several years, Edoardo’s photography has been undergoing a new change under the influence of new photographers such as Paolo Pellegrin and his ways of telling stories, Ackerman and Sobol for their perception of reality.

Studio Crea and books
Over the years I have created a very special team of photographers. All the people you see here are photographers who have been my assistants over time in many photographic services and from hard work, advice, anger and mutual respect have officially entered in EAStudio.
They are a team of highly selected individuals that allows you to keep the 'Agresti’ style without necessarily my presence. They are all major professional photographers with a philosophy linked to the concept of marriage in full harmony with mine. Each with its own personality yet blending in well with my vision of the shot. Persons for whom you can trust.
