My name is Federico Imperiale, I am a Los Angeles photographer specialized in unit stills and live performances.

Over the years, I have worked for a wide range of productions between Italy and the United States; my personal work has been internationally awarded and exhibited numerous times.

• Narration is a vital component of stills

Street photography taught me to pre-visualize and correctly time the capture to craft narratively significant compositions for my stills.

• My approach to stills is similar to method-acting

When on set I completely immerse myself in the fictional world, becoming a ghostly observer of the characters and the events driving the development of the film.

• Photography and the oniric level of reality

All my bodies of work pursue the capture of moments of spontaneous significance, as guided by a foreboding of revelation only accessible in the Unseen. Photographing as an act of ghost hunting, photographs as objects of meditation on the visual experience.
