Phaedra Holt-Martin’s 2005 blurb:

Stefano Giovannini is a self-taught photographer from Milan, Italy who relocated to New York City in the year 2000. He began taking photos as a teenager. Before pursuing his passion for photography, Stefano studied medicine for some years, but felt he would be happier elsewhere, doing something else. He has since worked for major and independent magazine publications in Europe and the U.S., including Nylon, Soma, Jane, Entertainment Weekly, as well as the Timeout NY guide, and many more, but he is perhaps best known for his photographs of musicians, including Sonic Youth, Cat Power, DJ Olive, Luna, Beck, Blonde Redhead and many others. His web journals feature photographs of New York City characterized by an impulsive, yet anthropological approach. Through his eyes we view the diversity of humanity, reality, and mythology–people, places, and things–a display of social classes, traces, and leftovers of human presence.

With this series we are given an intimate glimpse into the everyday life of Stefano Giovannini. The artist introduces us to friends, lovers, strangers, places, meals, quiet gestures. He is particularly gifted at allowing us to see the mundane and the spectacular on the same level;
