Giuseppe Marano (b. 1983) is an Italian photographer working worldwide. His work explores human relationships and the places we inhabit, with a particular attention to the ways people connect with one another and with their surroundings.
Rooted in Sicily and shaped by a Mediterranean sensibility, he began his professional career in 2012. Since then, he has documented hundreds of celebrations across the world, working with people from different cultures and backgrounds and drawing inspiration from the places and encounters along the way.
Alongside his commissioned work, he develops personal projects centred on landscape, memory and human intervention. His ongoing project Amaramente, an investigation into the relationship between landscape and human intervention in Sicily, was awarded by Urbanautica in 2024.
In 2017, New York-based Rangefinder Magazine named him one of the 30 Rising Stars of wedding photography. His work has been published internationally across Europe, the United States, Australia and Africa.
Represented internationally by AïA Management.

“ I move in and out of the time of a day, following what reveals itself along the way.
A day carries many different times. Memories, expectations and relationships overlap, while places hold their own presence and history.
I am drawn to what happens between things: a gesture, a glance, a change in light, a moment that quietly shifts the rhythm of the day. I move between these fragments without trying to impose a fixed narrative.
The photographs become traces of these encounters, bringing together moments that may never have belonged to the same story, yet somehow belong to the same memory ”.
