Renato Di Maggio Rodrigues, born in August 1996 in Basel, Switzerland,
is a self-taught Photographer and Painter and works in Basel and Rome.
He shadowed the Swiss artist Gilbert Uebersax during 2017-2018 in the Atelierklingental in Basel.
In 2020 he graduated from the Accademia Italiana di Arte, Moda e Design in Rome.
He started his career as a Street Photographer in Brighton, England in 2018.
The atmosphere of city life nourished his curiosity to capture life situations with the lens.

beyond Photography, in mixed media and painting.
