Hi, I’m Francesco Reffo, a creative photographer based in Padua (Italy).
BIO
Got a master degree in Modern Languages at the University of Padua and worked for some years as press officer and communications specialist in the fashion industry.
Began working as a full-time photographer at 25, developing a deep, sincere interest in people portraits, reportage and street photography.

In 2021 I started my own business, opening STUFO, and focusing my work on adults portraits with large format film cameras.
In 2023, together with a couple of dear friends, I founded GREEZO, a creative multimedia team.
