Franco A. "Frank" Barsotti (November 20, 1937, - June 6, 2012) was an American photographer. Youngest of three children, he was born and raised in Chicago's historic Pullman area by Italian immigrant parents. Italy, where he returned often, was a common theme through much of his work, such as the series Italy 1974 and White. His noted series Artigiano consists of photographs of tools hand-made by his father. Though trained in traditional black-and-white photography, Franco embraced digital technology and was one of the earliest professors to work with digital photography.
