Vladic Ciccotosto, born in Ukraine in 1998 and adopted by an Abruzzo family, lives in L’Aquila and studies Photography at the Academy of Fine Arts, with an Asperger’s diagnosis. A self -taught photographer, he began with a Canon 1200D and is now specialized in creative and fashion portraits on commission. In 2021, he held his first solo exhibition in Vasto, followed in 2023 by an exhibition project in L’Aquila on themes of hope and rebirth. Passionate about bokeh and female portraiture, he has built a portfo lio of over 300 shots including models and self-portraits, with strong emotional impact. In 2025, he was the victim of a theft on set in Rome, which led to a fundraising campaign and the recovery of his equipment with the support of the Perdonanza Committe. Recognized among the top 10 emerging fashion photographers on ModelManagement.com, he aims for editorial collaborations with magazines such as Vogue and Elle. His poetics blend spontaneity, emotion, and technical precision to capture “inner beauty” through his portraits.
