Enrico Minasso was born in 1961 and has been a photographer since 1986. He photographs for advertising, architecture, portraiture, special occasions and in the fields of industry and anthropology. After meeting photographer Eric Hartman, former president of Magnum Photos, in 1997 he became irresistibly attracted to black and white photography, an attraction which radically changed his photographic interests and researches.

Now constantly involved in research into the usage of unconventional photographic materials, for some time he has focused his attention on the stenopeic technique, pin hole photography. Among the books he has published are Luoghi d’ombra with text by Stefano Crespi, Le fucine di Bamako with texts by Ando Gilardi and Andrea Semplici, La valle di Sella with text by Andrea Repetto, Le meraviglie in scatola with text by Vittore Fossati and Acquaenergia with texts by Andrea Bonoldi and various authors.
