Lorenzo Frison
Lorenzo Frison is an Italian/Spanish photographer and videographer born and raised in Belgium. His main focus at the moment is working as an international Fashion- and Drag photographer.
He was always fascinated with art and high fashion, but kept the latter always private until, one day, he fully went on chasing his all-time dreams.
One of Lorenzo’s latest works was recently published on Vogue Italia.”This felt so amazing and unreal.”
Work and Inspiration
His aesthetic expresses the more extravagant approach: the bigger or the more remarkable, the better.
Bright colors that really pop out, special effects, impressive or massive fashion statements, playing with depth and perspective but also the dare to work with more explicit images to tell the right story for the right scenery are the examples to describe his work best.
His background as a filmmaker always plays a part, telling the right story for every peculiar image. “For me, storytelling is the key for an audience to understand what the brand or image stands for, by just looking at one simple image or frame”, he tells us.
My inspiration comes mostly from high fashion magazine covers, editorials, runways, art, museums, old movies from the 1970-1990s and even music videos. I’m open to a lot so everything can be an inspiration to me. I just really like artsy and outstanding stuff. Those are also the things I try to work with or merge into my photography.
He’s first viral and international publication was in August of 2016 by National Geographic, when he was still studying film. This was one of the reasons why the love for photography never died when cinematography was the center of his life back then. After graduating from the film school Narafi in Brussels something felt missing. Here was where photography was the last piece to complete his creative mind. From that moment, with his knowledge of cinematography, storytelling, and photography he went full on creating audiovisual images.
In October 2020 he was asked to attend and work at Paris Fashion Week. In May of 2021 he filmed and directed a digital modern Runway film. Recently his work was also published on Vogue Italia in collaboration with a young Belgian’s fashion brand. And in September of 2021, was invited again to work with a designer from Paris at Paris Fashion Week event Spring Summer 22.
Drag photography
Next to fashion, Lorenzo also works with different drag queens all around Belgium. Last May, he had the opportunity to work with a drag queen superstar from RuPaul’s Drag Race Holland. “Working with drag queens is such fun because here is where actually the creative and fashion comes together.”
Soon, his work will be showcased in an exhibition in the center of Brussels called Q-Artz in collaboration with The Brussels Pride. “I’m really excited for this to happen. For this collaboration I’ve chosen to show my best fashion and drag images I captured in 2020 and 2021”, he adds.
