About Our Evaluator…
Gian Lorenzo Ferretti is an architectural photographer at CoStar Group, where he has recently taken on a new role in research and development, focusing on emerging technologies like drones and 3D reconstruction.
Originally from Italy, Gian moved to the United States in 2014 after earning an athletic scholarship from the University of Minnesota, where he competed as a hammer thrower on the track and field team.
Outside of his professional work, Gian is a dedicated astrophotographer. He began his journey into the night sky four years ago and has since built an impressive portfolio of deep-sky imagery. His passion has led him to operate a remote telescope based in Texas, which he uses nearly every day, while also traveling with a portable setup to capture the stars from some of the world’s most remote and beautiful locations.
