Gianpaolo Lupori's cinematography is dense with layers and textures, creating a sense of intrigue, leading the viewer into a singular yet familiar world. Drawing from over a decade living in Asia as well as his Italian heritage, he's constantly attempting to synthesize his experiences and communicate them through light, movement and color.
He has worked with directors from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia. Having temporarily set aside his own work as a director, he still takes advantage of his experience in narrative filmmaking to assist in the construction of each story. For every film a new world is shaped, one which attempts to encapsulate the directorâs vision, the expectation of the viewer and his own evolving instincts.
He is based in Shanghai but travels to wherever the next story demands.
