Candido Baldacchino (Turin, March 5, 1956), is a photographer from Turin, whose activity focuses in particular on landscapes. He works with a very simple camera produced in the early 80's of the twentieth century. His commitment to photography dates back to the early seventies, this commitment became, at the threshold of his thirtieth anniversary, his reason for living. From a substantially color production, which had variegated subjects, both landscapes and portraits, he has passed over the years to black and white, to which he attributes a more introspective capacity. . His photography is close to the genre of street photography; his art was defined: "foto povera", understood as a philosophical conception not unlike "arte povera".

Activity
His activity investigates the human condition in the contemporary world. His travels across the world have been the occasion to elaborate new images inspired by his photographic projects.
