Livio Moiana: Shapes (of freedom) | MONOVISIONS - Black & White Photography Magazine

MonoVisions Black & White Photo Contest 2025

“Shapes (of freedom)” is a serie of black and white images where the human body is the source of inspiration to create and express feelings everyone is free to interpret. All photographs are untitled and no caption is provided.
Portrayed people in Livio’s photographs don’t show their visages. The real protagonist of this collection of photographs is the human body: its lines, its twines and contortions.

Livio Moiana was born in 1969 in Como (Italy). He has been working from 25 years as advertising photographer and portraitist.

For the last 15 years, Livio has been dedicating himself to the creation of black and white images where the human body is the source of inspiration to create and express feelings everyone is free to interpret. All his photographs are untitled and no caption is provided. Portrayed people in Livio’s photographs don’t show their visages. The real protagonist of his collection of photographs is the human body: its lines, its twines, its contortions and the feelings human bodies try to express.
