Robbie McIntosh is an Italian photographer based in Naples. He fell in love with photography as a teenager, and has never "looked back" since, as he puts it. His credo: "enjoy life and take it as it comes." He particularly enjoys photographing Sunday bathers on the beaches of Naples, "celebrating the human body". But a raw body: no sculpted or perfected model bodies, but the bodies of ordinary people, with their wrinkles or extra kilos. His style is reminiscent of Martin Parr. With a strong following on Instagram, he has won several awards for his photos: in 2023, he won the Fokus Awards in the main category around the competition theme "things change" and received an honorable mention at the Corigliano Calabro Photography Festival 2023.
