Umbrellas Stories

L’intangibile forma della luce

“ Sono attratta da soggetti legati all’estetica, al colore e alla forma e solitamente evito di fotografare soggetti legati a situazioni spiacevoli, comunque mi piace analizzare la condizione umana e scattare foto che documentano situazioni che possono essere migliorate per suscitare una riflessione su di esse.

Flamenco

Fotografa e graphic designer da più di 20 anni, conscia del fatto che realizzare delle belle foto non era abbastanza per fare arte, ho deciso di studiare e conseguire nel 2015 il Master Latinoamericano de Fotografía Contemporánea presso il Centro de la Imagen, Lima-Peru.”

“ I feel passionate about topics related to aesthetic, color and form and normally avoid those related to unpleasant situations, however I like to analyze the human condition and take photos that document situations that could be improved to motivate a reflection on them. Photographer and graphic designer for more tan 20 years, aware that taking beautiful pictures was not the way to make fine art, I decided to study the Master Latinoamericano de Fotografía Contemporánea at the Centro de la Imagen, Lima-Peru and got the Master degree in 2015.”
