Guen Fiore (b. 1988) is an award-winning photographer, specialized in creative and portrait photography. The research she pursues finds its centrality in the representation of the human figure. Not only can that be perceived in her personal projects, it also emerges from her professional works, especially in the fashion field, where her focus on the inner nature of the person is a true statement.
