Riccardo Apostolico is an Italian photographer and co-founder of Definitely Extra.

Born in Cava de’ Tirreni into a family deeply connected to fashion, his relationship with imagery started early, shaped by instinct, culture, and a natural way of framing the world around him.

He moved to Milan in 2016 to study photography at IED Istituto Europeo di Design, where his work quickly stood out for its distinct visual language. While still a student, his imagery — marked by an ’80s-inflected aesthetic and a strong, recognizable signature — began attracting early clients within the luxury fashion space.

From the beginning, he built his path independently, developing a clear and consistent point of view.

His work draws from the archives of fashion, pop culture, and music, blending vintage references with a contemporary edge. Strong casting, refined use of color, and precise composition define imagery centered around femininity, identity, and a controlled sense of sensuality.

Through Definitely Extra his work extends beyond photography into branding, image-making, and production, shaping images, films, and visual worlds.
