FLAVIO VALLE

My story begins in 2010, when the International Skating Union (ISU) requested an image of mine that they would use to represent the 2010 World Championships in Milan. It was this moment that I discovered my passion, and pursued a way to combine my love of skating with my love of photography. 

 

I focus my energy in as many competitions as I can—from my hometown in Italy to the rest of Europe, Japan, China, Russia, the United States, Canada, and so many others in between—That I have photographed over 120 elite-level athletes off-ice at so many incredible local and international locations.

 

My work has appeared in numerous magazines, including the International Figure Skating Magazine, and the official publication of U.S. Figure Skating, Figure Skating Magazine. My photos and designs have been displayed at countless international events, including Four Continents and Worlds, many prints, of which, have been distributed around the world in the hands of many skating fans.

 

I have visited over 30 countries around the world in the pursuit of capturing my love for this sport, I was accreditate for over 50 international competitions and over 60 gala events. But don’t take it from me, I’ll let my work speak for my skill and my passion. See for yourself!
