Fabrizio Filippini (real name Neil Downie) was born in Glasgow in 1970 and raised in the suburbs of Manchester where he has lived for over 30 years. Fabrizio spent many years expressing his artistic talents through DJing be it in clubs or supporting touring bands (see below for a few sample mixes). Fortunately for the photographic fans among us, the pitter patter of tiny feet forced him to resign from his career with the 1s and 2s in 2003, and he resumed his photography with unbriddled passion. After many years shooting with assorted film cameras, he embraced digital photography in 2006, though still shoots primarily with a Hasselblad medium format camera. The ease with which digital images can be processed and the quality of todays DSLRs has allowed Fabrizio to take his photography to a higher level. One of his latest projects, The Manchester Calendar, was shot entirely on digital and has been 12 months in the making. The results are truly outstanding. In 2007, a relationship was struck with DigiCals, a bright young company based in Stockport that produce quality A3 calendars via a revolutionary technology. With over £500,000 worth of investment with Hewlett Packard and development expertise from their engineers in the US, DigiCals  provide calendars unlike any others.

 As you will see from the work on this site, Fabrizio makes landscape photographs, be they rural or urban, and portraits. He is also heavily involved in street photography. Fabrizio is available for commissions, and some of the work displayed here is available for exhibition. Please use the details here to contact the photographer.
