Perfect Weather To Fly, 2023
Inkjet Canson Rag Photographique 310g
28 x 21 in 70.0 x 52.5 cm
There is a kind of freedom in altitude, in the moment before departure when everything on the ground becomes irrelevant. In Perfect Weather To Fly, Sebastian Magnani imagines Monroe in a state of imminent lift — poised between one world and another, the conditions finally right. The photograph carries the lightness of its title without surrendering depth; Magnani understands that the best departures are also arrivals of a kind.

Price on Application


Sebastian Magnani is a Swiss photographer based in Zurich, born in a small village in Canton Valais. He discovered photography during an apprenticeship in media design in 2006 and spent the following five years working as a graphic designer and art director at an advertising agency before transitioning to photography full time in 2011.
Magnani is known for richly colored, intimately staged portraits that combine strong lighting with a cinematic sense of mood. His most recognized body of work reimagines a well known superhero character in quiet, everyday moments, unexpected downtime away from heroics, using contrast between the character's familiar presence and ordinary settings to explore themes of vulnerability, solitude, and the small pleasures of daily life. His background in advertising and design continues to shape the polish and precision of his compositions.
Magnani has collaborated with major international clients, including The New York Times, IWC Schaffhausen, and Apple, and his work has been exhibited across the United States, Australia, and Europe. He has also published photography books and received multiple international awards for his projects.
