Cristiano Volk is an Italian photographer who lives and works in a small town called Staranzano in northeastern Italy. After a short period of study at the Spazio Labo’ in Bologna, he worked with artists such as Massimo Mastrorillo at the D.O.O.R. Academy and Federico Clavarino. His works have a critical view of social, political and cultural issues. Various interests are involved in his works such as tourism in Venice within the Sinking Stone project, the major depressive disorder in Mélaina Cholé and the connotations of consumers and money in Laissez-faire. Sinking Stone was awarded the Slideluck Gazebook Jason Fulford Award in 2017. In 2018, it was shortlisted for the FUAM Dummy Book Award and the SELF PUBLISH RIGA Dummy Contest.
In April 2019 his first book Sinking Stone was published by Witty Books and, at the end of the same year, it was selected by the American Suburb X magazine among the best photographic books of 2019. The following year his second book Mélaina Cholé was published by the American publishing house Yoffy Press. Since 2020 he has been represented by the London-based photo agency Millennium Images.
