Claudio is a Swiss photographer working at the intersection of documentary and fine art photography. With a simple but strong approach, Claudio explores the spaces inhabited by his sitters, at the time that he portrays the inner self. In his series "Same Place", Claudio scouts South African neighborhoods photographing common places and its inhabitants, and the simplicity and isolation in which the pictures are made, are precisely their strength, revealing surprising facts and letting us wonder what lies beneath the frame.

Claudio Rasano’s photographs tell the story of a place through people who inhabit it
An “anthropological commentary” informs viewers of the Basel-based photographer’s work.
YWYWMAGAZINE POINT OF VIEW
I would probably describe my style as genuine and therefore identifiable, somewhere in between documentary and fine art practices.

In conversation with Claudio Rasano
Claudio Rasano is an award-winning portrait and landscape photographer. In recent years, the celebrated Swiss-native has garnered both the 2016 Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize and the 2017 Photovogue Portraits award. Claudio explores the relationship between humans and spaces, the subject within the space as well as the space itself. We got in touch with him to ask him about his journey.
The South West Collective of Photography
When Rasano captures people or landscapes, he shows his opposite without artifical distortion, mostly in a natural light. It is important to him to show the subject authentic and in its habitual environment.
Claudio Rasano is a photographer who lives in Basel and has been awarded with prizes such as the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize, in the National Portrait Gallery, London, the European Publishers Award for Photography and the American Photo Images of the Year.

I do not really have idols, but I do admire the work of Michal Chelbin, Ken Hermann, Laura Pannack, Spencer Murphy, Diane Arbus and Richard Avedon.

Cartography N°6
Cartography N°6 embarks on a journey towards the outermost reaches of China. In the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region – where mosques and Zoroastrian temples coexist alongside each other, and the land is inhabited by Turkic-looking Uyghurs and blond blue-eyed Tajiks – we explore what once was the buzzing heart of the Silk Road.
Then comes Argentina, whose frontiers mainly rest upon natural features—rivers, mountains, and the ocean. We touch the edges of the Country: the Misiones subtropical forest, the watery province wedged in between Paraguay and Brazil, the Andean North-West where people’s faces are burnt by the altitude and the light fazes the roads, the beginning of the South, Patagonia, pushing up against the beautiful pre-Cordillera.
Finally, the issue brings the reader along the the Jordan Trail, from South Little Petra to Titin Village, hiking for a hundred miles over eight days, sleeping mostly in serviced wild camps with meals prepared by the local community. Beautifully shot by photographer Catherine Hyland, this almost endless hiking route crosses the entire country, from the Fertile Crescent in the North to the edge of the Arabian Desert and the Red Sea in the South.

zeitgenössische Fotografie zum Thema „Mensch
GALERIE MONIKA WERTHEIMER C 41
Auf seinen Streifzügen nimmt er Dinge war, an denen andere vorbeilaufen würden. Das meint er, sei seine grosse Stärke. Er fotografiert auch nicht gerne bei strahlendem Sonnenschein. Vielmehr taucht er seine Fotos in dieses unnachahmliche „Rasano-Licht“. Und so gehen dann von den Fotos dieser Zauber aus, ob er nun am Strand in Südafrika fotografiert oder einen Baum mit Gartenhäuschen im Schnee bei uns um die Ecke!
Mit den Portraits verfährt er genau gleich. Nie im künstlichen Licht, unverfälscht und in gewisser Weise nimmt er die Menschen „würdevoll“ auf.
Claudio Rasano, 1970 in Basel geboren, ist für seine Fotografien mit namhaften Preisen ausgezeichnet worden, u.a. mit dem Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize der National Gallery London, dem European Publishers Award for Photography und dem American Photo Images of the Year. Seine Arbeiten waren international zu sehen, u.a. in der National Portrait Gallery London, in der Ausstellung der Hasselblad Masters Finalists, an den Fotobuchtagen in den Deichtorhallen Hamburg, in Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney, an der PHotoEspaña in Madrid und in der Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh.
Our bodies have a lot to be and do. They are biological battlegrounds, projection surfaces for fantasies, loci of individuality, and sites of political and social contention—manipulated, transformed, and increasingly commercialized. Despite their vulnerabilities, bodies are a kind of personal ur-architecture, structuring so much of how we experience the world, all while acting as powerful tools to mold the world in turn. The exhibition A Tooth for an Eye focuses on the representational outsides and the inscrutable insides of bodies, the dependencies they have (on other bodies as much as on supplemental objects) and the mutational possibilities open to them. The featured works dissolve the body into smoke, partition it into pieces, reveal the limits of its control, and examine the traces it builds and leaves behind. Like a body, the exhibition is not a stable entity, but transforms from room to room as visitors encounter works by sixteen artists from different generations working around the body—conceptually, archaeologically, experimentally, sensually, expressionistically.
With Camille Bres, Mona Broschár, Simona Deflorin, Gerome Gadient, Hannah Gahlert, Axel Gouala, Philipp Hänger, Dominik His, Jeronim Horvat, Daniel Kurth, Kaspar Ludwig, Ines P. Kubler, Claudio Rasano, Dorian Sari, Simone Steinegger, and Mirjam Walter.
AINT—BAD
Claudio Rasano (b.1970) is from Basel, Switzerland. His work explores the relationship between spaces and humans, the spaces often contrasting the people who inhabit it. His work avoids any artistic falsification of the way his subjects really are. His tool, the camera, is always discrete, never obtrusive, truly honest noting that he only takes photographs when the people agree.

Winner ING Unseen Instagram Competition 2017
Over the last two weeks, photography lovers and enthusiastic Instagrammers were called on to submit their interpretation of the 2017 ING Unseen Talent Award theme Common Ground for the ING Unseen Instagram Competition.
Earlier this week the ING Unseen Instagram Competition closed. The Head Curator of the ING Collection and Artistic Director at Unseen were asked to select the photograph that best interpreted the 2017 ING Unseen Talent Award theme Common Ground. After a fantastic number of almost 600 submissions, we are delighted to announce that the winning photograph was submitted by Switzerland-based photographer Claudio Rasano.
Rasano's interpretation of the theme Common Ground: 'When people find themselves in certain situations, overwhelmed with emotions due to circumstances beyond their control, we don’t think of boxes, of male female, race or nationality, we don’t think, we react, and in so doing become equal - we find Common Ground. This image shows the fragility of life and the importance of holding on together.'
Astrid Wassenberg, The Head Curator of the ING Collection, said of Claudio Rasano's submission: 'The image submitted is very striking and immediately grasps your attention. The questioning of what it is to be human, what we value and the spaces we inhabit make it particularly pertinent to our times.'
Emilia van Lynden, Artistic Director at Unseen, said of the entries to this year's ING Unseen Instagram Competition: 'It is great to see that each year the submitted works are substantially increasing in quality. The theme ‘Common Ground’ was interpreted by the vast majority of applicants as having a distinct sociological link whilst focusing on the strength and resilience of their fellow man. It is fantastic to see that so many people are engaging with this competition and are generating such an insight into the world around us.'

Thank you to everyone who submitted their work to this competition, and we look forward to seeing more from you in the future!
