As we approach the ITS#SIX event ITS team daily faces sudden changes, details to modify, all sorts of situations that need to react promptly.
Sometimes the surprises are positively unexpected, and that is the case of what happened with the ITS#PHOTO jury, which has been integrated by a remarkable new member in the last days.
We are glad to inform everyone that Gianni Berengo Gardin will join the already confirmed top-level panel of jurors.
We are proud to add to the same jury two important names: Gianni Berengo Gardin and Carl De Keyzer. Let 's go a little deeper into their impressive careers.

Gianni Berengo Gardin is considered one of the most important Italian photographers of his time.
He started his career over 50 years ago, in 1954. He collaborated with different Italian and International magazines (Domus, Epoca, L'Espresso, Time, Stern, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Du, Le Figaro etc.), and some of his shoots have been used for important advertising campaigns for brands such as Procter&Gamble and Olivetti.
His work has been displayed in hundreds of important museums and galleries: Museum of Modern Art -New York, the George Eastman House-Rochester, International Rencontres d'Arles-Arles (where he has been awarded the "Oskar Barnack - Camera Group Award"), Mois de la Photo di Parigi, FNAC galleries, just to name a few.
He published over 150 photography books, the last one is called Italians (Federico Motta Editore, 1999).
Gianni Berengo Gardin currently lives in Milano and he has been part of the Contrasto agency since 1990.

Carl DeKeyzer is part of the late 1980's generation of reportage photographers, working both on large-scale projects and general themes.
He started his career as a freelance photographer in 1982, while teaching at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent and co-founded and co-directed the XYZ-Photography Gallery. A Magnum nominee in 1990, he became a full member in 1994.
De Keyzer's style is based on accumulation and interdependence with text, often taken from his own travel diaries.
He has depicted different geographical areas and important historical moments: from India contradictions to the collapse of the USSR, to politics related issues in the last years.
His exhibitions (solo or group ones) have been hosted all over Europe and in the US in the most prestigious spaces, and he has published many books (most recently "Trinity", 2007).
This dual presence makes ITS#PHOTO even more interesting, and the significant development of the area (always partnered by MINI) makes all of us proud.
Now is the time to look forward to July 13th (ITS#PHOTO exhibition vernissage) and July 14th to discover who will follow in Remigiusz Pyrdol's footsteps as the new winner of the MINIInternational Award (and do not forget the brand new Pitti Immagine Photo Award).
