Giuseppe Cavalli

Giuseppe Cavalli was an Italian photographer, little known outside his native country. His work had a "simple, quiet aesthetic" and he was "best known for his ‘high-key’ style, characterised by the use of bright, even lighting to minimise shadow." Cavalli was a joint founder of the photography group La Bussola in 1947. He also formed the photography group Misa in 1953.

Life and work
Cavalli was born in 1904, in Lucera in Italy’s southern Apulia region. Mario Giacomelli, whom Cavalli influenced, was an early member of Misa. Cavalli wrote essays about Bussola's aesthetic that were published in Italian photographic journals, and promoted photography exhibitions and competitions. Cavalli died in Senigallia in 1961 at the age of fifty-seven. ==Publications==
