Profile

Francesco Silvestri divides his time between Auckland, New Zealand and New Hampshire and Maine in the U.S. An Italian American born west of Boston, he shifted from oil painting to photography in the early 80’s. He has travelled widely, including spending time in his ancestral home outside of Rome, Italy.

Known mostly for his black and white photography, he works in a variety of formats. He most enjoys taking photographs in fog, rain, wind and snowstorms, exploring ways in which the weather intensifies the emotional impact of the image.
