Duccio Malagamba (b. 1960, La Spezia) is an Italian architectural photographer. In 20 years of professional experience he participated in several exhibitions, lectures, and juries, and 5 times has been awarded with the “Lux” National Photography Prize, granted by the Spanish Association of Professional Photographers. He continuously collaborates with such prominent architects as Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron, Rafael Moneo, EMBT, and Coop Himmelb(l)au, among many others, and his photographs are regularly featured in specialized magazines and publishing houses worldwide.

After graduating in Architecture “cum laude” from the Genoa University, he moved to Barcelona to begin his career as an architect. He soon joined the studio MBM (Martorell-Bohigas-Mackay) Arquitectos, where he leaded the winning team for the “Un Progetto per Siena” international competition. In 1989 he won a scholarship granted by the “CNR” (Italian National Research Centre) for a research on Spanish Contemporary Architecture. Carrying out the research he took up his youthful interest in photography and his images obtained general recognition. In 1991 he decided to devote himself entirely to architectural photography. Along with his work as a photographer, Duccio Malagamba is the author of various articles on photography and architecture and from 1995 to 2008 technical editor and contributor to the Spanish magazine ‘Diseño Interior’.

He conceives his work as ‘architectural reportages’ - rather than a series of separate shots – that aim to transmit to the observer a complex range of emotions, experiences and thoughts, providing a full, multi-faceted view of the subject. Nevertheless, the primary purpose of his visual investigation is to inspire and stimulate the viewer more than to transmit objective information about the portrayed intervention.
