Alfonso Nieto was born in 1969 in Santiago, Chile. He has been interested in art and sculpture since his early years. Traveling and moving experiences have formed his approach as an artist, constantly evolving and redefining himself.

Between 1990 and 1995, he studied Fine Arts at ARCIS University in Santiago, Chile. He works in a wide range of media, from video installations to paintings, etching and engraving, sculpture in fiberglass and plastic and architectural design. All of which unveils a certain parallelism that stands crucial in his work. On the one hand, his projects are “free artistic expression” and on the other they are “applied art”. In between he creates for himself a space for discourse on a wide variety of subjects.

In 2005 he founded Art Battery Group with his wife Claudia Sandoval. Since then they are being combining and complementing their thinking to build an open and resourceful art collective in Brooklyn, NY. During the last four years, Alfonso Nieto has perfectioned his work with syncronized flashes, lighting and his Nikon D200.

Alfonso specializes on portraits for artists, musicians and fashion. He is available for freelance and commission work.

Trained as a topographer in Naples, Gigi Cifali used to spend time in the countryside looking through a twelve sided viewfinder, an instrument used to measure distances between points. Bored with geometrical measurements, symmetrical lines and calculations of angles, Gigi started to document a more vibrant and kaleidoscopic subject, the cityscape, and entered the MA course in photojournalism at the University of Westminster in 2004.

Drawn to photography as a a means of self-expression, he specializes in long-term, in-depth, documentary photographic projects which question the status quo.

He also believes strongly in documentary photojournalism ability to affect social change. most of all, he loves people and photography.
