Such is the content of the Archivio Cameraphoto Epoche archive in numbers. A quick look at it and we can't help falling in love with long-gone faces, places and facts whose strength still pops out of each contact print and has now become history: movie stars and art/culture personalities, day- and night views of Venice and of the surrounding countryside, gossip, crime, sports and local news, artwork or print reproductions. About Vittorio Pavan: In 1972, at the age of 14, he was hired by Cameraphoto, the largest photojournalism agency in Venice, founded in 1946, collaborating in development and white-and-black analogue press production and the creation of photographic services for newspapers and weeklies, including “Il Corriere della Sera”, “La Stampa”, “Der Spiegel”, “Time” and “Life”. In addition to photojournalism he still collaborates with La Biennale and with the Department of Culture for the realization of exhibition catalogs, including Vasilij Kandiskij, Egon Schiele, Cagnaccio, Tiziano and El Greco. In 1987 he took over the Agency. He currently makes art photographs for books, collaborating with publishing houses such as Electa, Treccani, Biblos, Magnus. In addition to the reproduction of works of art (the latest major work the book "Emilio Vedova Sculptor" published by Skira), he performs analogue prints in black and white and fine art digital prints, for professionals and artists, among my clients include ; Araki, Fulvio Roiter, Giorgia Fiorio, David Hamilton, Danilo De Marchi.
