Davide was born to the renowned Sorrenti family, known as the Corleones of fashion photography. Diagnosed at a young age with thalassemia, a fatal blood disorder, he lived his life with a raw urgency. With his graffiti crew See Know Evil, he documented the last youth movement of a pre-sanitized New York City. While Davide’s untimely death would spark a media controversy that would label him as the poster boy for the rise of ‘heroin chic’, a trend glamorizing drug addiction, Davide’s work would come to define the era.
