Francesco Carrozzini

Francesco Carrozzini (born September 9, 1982) is an Italian photographer and director.

He lives and works in New York City.^[1]

Early life[link]

Francesco grew up in Milan, Italy. He began taking pictures and making films with his friends as a youth, which led him to pursue an education in the arts. In the summer of 1999, he went to Los Angeles to study film at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He later returned to Italy to study philosophy at the University of Milan, until his subsequent move to New York City.

Photography[link]

Francesco was exposed to the world of fashion at a young age as the son of Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia. His career as a photographer began in 2006, and in a few years he became one of the most respected young photographers in the industry. He has since contributed to: L'Uomo Vogue,^[2] German Vogue, Italian Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, W, Rolling Stone and US and UK Esquire, amongst others.

He is well known for his portrait and fashion work. He has photographed such Hollywood stars as Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Scarlett Johansson, John Malkovich, Oliver Stone; models Heidi Klum,^[3] Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Milla Jovovich, Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour and Tyra Banks; and musicians Beyoncé, Sting, Keith Richards and Marilyn Manson amongst others. He has also photographed artists Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, Marina Abramovic and Nigerian president Jonathan Goodluck.

His advertising client list includes Estee Lauder, Biotherm, Sony Music, Mini Cooper, Emporio Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, Hudson Jeans, Hickey Freeman, Baume & Mercier, Chopard, and Mango.

Francesco also teaches a workshop of photography once a year at the University of Venice, Italy.

Film[link]

Francesco's first assignment was directing a 30” spot for Italian MTV. The following year, the advertising agency McCann Erickson assigned him to direct the promo for the Venice Biennale Art Expo in 2005, which marked an important turning point in his career.

In 2006 he traveled to Poland to shoot his feature film debut,^[4][5] a documentary about the life and creative process of the Polish Theatre Wierszalin.

Francesco was commissioned to direct a series of films by The New York Times, which was later pioneered as “The New York Times Screen Tests,” ^[6] for which he was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award. It is a collection of interviews featuring some of today’s most prestigious stars, such as Natalie Portman^[7], Charlize Theron, and Marion Cotillard. The series has now grown to include dozens of other "screen tests", still shot in the original format Francesco used.

In 2008, Francesco also filmed the short film "1937", a psychological thriller, which was filmed in Suite #822 of the infamous Chelsea Hotel.

The next year, he shot a viral "Color Goes Pop" ^[8] for the sunglasses brand Ray Ban, for which he was nominated for a Young Director's award at the Cannes advertising festival. He has also directed commercials for Tommy Hilfiger fragrance and Fiat 500 Gucci.

Cuauhtémoc Blanco Bravo (Spanish pronunciation: [kwauˈtemok ˈblaŋko]; born 17 January 1973) is a Mexican professional footballer who currently plays for Dorados de Sinaloa^[2] in the Mexican Liga de Ascenso.

Known for his aggressive yet charismatic personality on the field, playing most of his career as a deep-lying forward and his last years as an attacking midfielder. He is widely considered one of the greatest and most talented Mexican players in the last two decades.

Blanco is the only Mexican football player with an award in a major international FIFA competition, as he won the Silver Ball and the Silver Shoe awards in the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup. He has been awarded the MVP of the Mexican First League Division five times.

He is tied with Ronaldinho as the leading Confederations Cup goalscorer. Blanco is the second leading goal scorer for the Mexican national football team and his debut team Club América; he is also Mexico's second top scorer in both the FIFA World Cup and the Copa Libertadores tournament.

Club career[link]

Blanco was born in Tlatilco, but grew up in Tepito, a poor neighborhood of Mexico City, where he learned to love playing football in the local fields. Growing up in a rough environment with a high crime rate, Blanco developed a style of play based on creativity and aggressiveness leading him to sometimes lose his temper. Ángel González a scout for Club América discovered him as he won the Torneo Benito Juárez as a part of the Distrito Federal selection team, and brought him to Club América's development program.

Club América[link]

Blanco during his time with Club América.

Having played most of his career in Club América, with 333 appearances and 125 goals, Cuauhtémoc has become an idol to the club's supporters and an important figure in the history of the team.

Blanco made his debut in the Primera División (Mexican First Division) in 1992 at the age of 19 with Club América. He won his first Golden Boot with 16 goals in the Winter 1998 season for Las Aguilas.

In May 2005, Blanco won his first club championship as a player, leading Club América to its tenth league title, when Club América defeated U.A.G. by an aggregate score of 7–4 (1–1, 6–3). In the next three consecutive years between 2005 to 2007, he was awarded the MVP.

He scored his last goal is this club during the championship final against Pachuca in 2007. After that game he moved to Chicago and played the next two seasons for Chicago Fire.

Necaxa[link]

He was loaned for Winter 1997 and Summer 1998 at Club Necaxa, in which he scored 13 goals in 28 appearances.

Real Valladolid[link]

In the year 2000, after winning the Golden Shoe in the Confederations Cup 1999, Blanco was loaned to Real Valladolid for the 2000–01 campaign. On October of that year in an international WCQ match against Trinidad and Tobago, he received a strong kick from an opposing defender, breaking his leg and leaving him out of the fields for the next 8 months.

After the peak of his career was stopped by an injury, he continued in the club for another season (2001–02), in which he struggled with homesickness and regaining his form; after scoring great goals in Spain, including a free-kick against Real Madrid's Iker Casillas at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium,^[3] he returned to Mexico.

Veracruz[link]

In the Apertura 2004 he had a successful season with the Tiburones Rojos in which they ended up leaders, Blanco being an important factor. During this season he gained an important following at the port, which led him to come back later on.

Chicago Fire[link]

Blanco in Chicago in 2009 during his time with the Chicago Fire.

On 2 April 2007, Blanco ventured on to Major League Soccer in the United States and signed with Chicago Fire. He was welcomed by 5,000 fans at Toyota Park as he conducted interviews with the media, signed autographs and greeted with fans.

He was later voted as a finalist for both the M.V.P. and Newcomer of the Year awards in 2007.^[4] Blanco was the 2007 Sierra Mist Goal of the Year Winner which was his first season, goal came in week 20 against RSL.^[5]

Blanco was the second-highest paid player in Major League Soccer, after Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder David Beckham, earning $2.7 million a year.^[6] Once again finalist for the M.V.P of the year award.

On 24 July 2008 during the MLS All-Stars vs West Ham United, Blanco won the MVP of the game with one assist and one goal, a game in which he only played 46 minutes. The MLS All-stars won 3–2.

Santos Laguna[link]

On November 19, 2008, it was announced that Santos Laguna signed Blanco on a loan to play only for the Apertura 2008 Liguilla, after the injury of their Ecuadorian striker Christian Benítez. Blanco was formally presented to the press the next day, wearing jersey number 9, and stated that he looks forward to giving Santos a back-to-back championship.^[7][8][9] Blanco scored his first goal with Santos Laguna 29 November 2008. It was penalty against San Luis goalkeeper Adrian Martinez in the return game which Santos Laguna won 2–1 and 5–2 aggregate score.

Return to Mexico[link]

In October 2009 Blanco announced he would not be renewing his contract with Chicago Fire and would instead sign with Veracruz of Liga de Ascenso starting January 2010.^[10] However, after 6 months with Veracruz he left for Irapuato FC.^[11] Led by Cuauhtemoc Irapuato won Clausura 2011, but the team failed to advance to the Primera División losing to Club Tijuana in the promotional final.

In December 2011, after he could not secure a contract with any Primera División team and a month shy of his 39th birthday, Blanco joined Dorados de Sinaloa of Liga de Ascenso.^[2] According to Blanco, this will be the last team he represents.^[2] He would like to finish his professional player career playing for Dorados de Sinaloa and later pursue his career as a coach.^[2]

International career[link]

Blanco has played for Mexico at three World Cups. He was part of the squad at France '98, Korea-Japan 2002 and South Africa 2010. He was also a member of the Mexico team that won the Confederations Cup in 1999 where he was the tournament's leading scorer with six goals, including one in the final. He was awarded the "Golden Boot" and "Silver Boot" for outstanding player of the tournament. Blanco holds the record along with Brazil's Ronaldinho as the highest scoring players in the Confederations Cup with nine goals, three in 1997 and six in 1999.

In the selection for the final 23-man squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, former Mexican national team coach Ricardo La Volpe left Blanco out of the team. While the ostensible reason given was that Blanco was frequently injured and not in good form; some people considered this to be a consequence of the previous year's constant bickering, due to on-going personal problems between coach and player.

Blanco became part of the squad that played the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, scoring one penalty goal, and the 2007 Copa América, where he scored 2 goals also in penalty kicks. He has since been praised for his influential performance and is now tipped to be a certain starter for the majority of Mexico's qualifying games, mostly due to his experience and current form with Chicago Fire in MLS. On 13 September 2008, he earned his 100th cap for his country in its 2–1 World Cup qualifier victory over Canada at Tuxtla Gutierrez, coming on with only 15 seconds left in regulation.

Blanco returned to the national team since Javier Aguirre's arrival to the team in April 2009, playing in all the games throughout the Hexagonal of the World Cup Qualifying since then; Blanco becoming an important factor for Mexico's team regain of form and confidence.

On 10 October 2009, Blanco provoked the first opposition own goal and scored the second goal in a 4–1 victory over El Salvador to help Mexico clinch a spot in the 2010 World Cup. On 17 June 2010, he scored a penalty in the 78th minute of the 2–0 win against France at the World Cup in South Africa.^[12] With this goal he became the first Mexican to score a goal in three World Cup tournaments and the third-oldest goalscorer in World Cup history.^[13][14] Blanco is considered by many to be one of the greatest penalty kickers of all time. He also has a penalty-taking record; out of a total of 58 taken, he has only ever missed three.

Celebration[link]

Blanco himself has accepted on Mexican television and to the press that his goal celebration is an imitation of the "Archer"^[15] celebration created by former Atletico de Madrid striker Kiko Narvaez. In a 2005 interview with Mexican newspaper El Universal (Mexico City), Blanco explains that while watching a Spanish league game accompanied by his teammate Germán Villa, both players agreed to celebrate their next goal by imitating the "Archer" gesture. In the end, only Blanco did it, and jokingly reprimanded Villa for not keeping his word.^[16][16] However, the Chicago Fire official website claims that Blanco celebrates scoring a goal by acting like the Prehispanic Tlatoani Aztec emperor Cuauhtémoc, "in order to show respect for the Mexican people, and their indigenous Amerindian heritage".^[17]

Cuauhtemiña[link]

Blanco remains remembered for the Cuauhtemiña (also spelled Cuauhteminha), or Blanco Trick, which he performed notably at the 1998 World Cup.^[18] In the trick, when two or more opposition players are trying to take the ball from him, he traps the ball between his feet and jumps through the defenders- releasing the ball in the air and landing with it under control as he leaves the opposition players behind.^[19] The trick is easy to perform but is eye-catching and has been incorporated as a special skill into the FIFA series of football video games.
