Collapsible content

In the book Shades of a woman Guido Argentini began exploring different levels and nuances of the female nature. Shot both in color and black and white the images are telling a story in one single picture, like single frames taken from a movie. Women, photographed in USA, Thailand, Italy and Cuba are still the source of inspiration of Guido Argentini's photographs. Argentini’s aim is that women- the muses who have guided him along his path- up until now- being the subjects of his pictures or even simply those who witness his photos, can identify themselves in these stories. Guido Argentini was born in Florence, Italy. He studied Medicine for three years at the university of Florence. At 23 he decided to turn his passion for photography into a profession and started to shoot fashion and beauty. Since 1990 he has lived in the USA, in Los Angeles. His work has been published by some of the leading magazines in the world such as Marie Claire, Men'sHealth, Panorama, Playboy, Vogue, Max, Maxim and many others.

Guido Argentini is an Italian-American photographer. Best known for his series of dancers covered in metallic chrome paint, Argentini’s oeuvre is characterized by its formal poses and sensual imagery. Born in Florence, Italy in 1966, he moved to Los Angeles in 1990. By 2003, Argentini achieved widespread recognition when he published Silvereye, his series of black-and-white photographs of nudes, many of them covered in his signature silver paint. Metallic women have featured heavily throughout his career, culminating in the publication of Argentum (2013), featuring ballet dancers posing nude and in motion. His photographs have been featured in such publications as Vogue, Marie Claire, and Playboy. He lives in Los Angeles, CA.
