ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Sara DeGonia is an American writer and editor currently living and working in Wellington, New Zealand. When she’s not combing through her clients’ work for copy edits, or working on her next book, Sara can be found curled up with a popular novel, a new cookbook, or the latest Entertainment Weekly. She also enjoys taking advantage of NZ’s beautiful coastline, dining at any restaurant’s outdoor patio, and weekly visits to the local movie theater with her husband, Andrew.
Giovanni Simeone, born in 1968 and the son of an artist, he studied photography in Milan, where he began contributing to Bell’Italia magazine from its very first issue. In the early 1990s, he moved to Germany to work for a photo agency, then spent nearly three years traveling the world before settling in Paris.
There, he started an exclusive collaboration with Le Figaro, producing more than fifty feature stories. During frequent trips back to Italy, he founded Simephoto (www.simephoto.com), a photography agency specializing in travel and landscape imagery. Thirty years later, Simephoto brings together around fifty of Europe’s top photographers and is recognized as a leading agency in the field.
Its portfolio includes clients such as National Geographic Traveler, Le Figaro, Outside, Geo Germany, Stern, la Repubblica, The Sunday Times and The Guardian, as well as major international publishers including Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, and Fodor’s.
In 2011, Simephoto launched its own publishing house, Simebooks, with photography at the heart of every project. As an author, Giovanni Simeone has published Not Food for Old Men (2015) and Los Angeles Cocktails (2017). Forthcoming titles include Baja California Peninsula (as photo editor) and Los Angeles (2025).
Simebooks releases about a dozen new titles each year, with a strong focus on promoting local culture and landscapes through unique, original photographic campaigns.
