Olivo Barbieri is an Italian photographer born in 1954 in Emilia. He participated in the major collective project led by Luigi Ghirri, “Viaggio in Italia,” and mainly practices urban photography. After a period focused on artificial lighting in urban areas, he is now known for his effects of miniaturization of the urban landscape obtained through a tilting focus method (tilt‑shift) that gives his photographs the appearance of an artificial scale model.
