Massimo Vitali estudió fotografía en la London College of Printing y trabajó como reportero gráfico y director de fotografía en películas y anuncios. Desde 1993, se alza sobre una plataforma a varios metros de altura y con una cámara de gran formato a fotografiar playas, discotecas, estaciones de esquí, supermercados, piscinas y otras zonas de ocio concurridas.
