My name is Francesca Chiacchio, I started shooting and developing photos while studying architecture in Naples, Italy. After graduating, I attended a photography class and participated to two group exhibitions. Soon after I moved to NYC where I lived for 8 years, working as an architect. While there I never abandoned my passion for photography, even though at the time I was more focused on Architectural and Urban Photography. Only in 2015 I approached Street Photography and I got really passionate about it. In the past two years I attended several street photography workshops (among which those with Vineet Vohra were the most fulfilling, which is why I consider him my mentor) and I participated in various Street Photography group exhibitions (“Street Sans Frontieres” – Paris, “Double Trouble” in StreetFoto San Francisco, “Short Street Stories” in Trieste Photo Days, “Women Street Photographers” in Brussels Street Photography Festival). I am part of the “Women in Street” community and I am a member of a new born international street photography collective called “Through The Lands“. My work has been published both online and in print.
About The Collection
I am a very curious person, and I am always looking for something new, this is why I travel as much as I can. In the past two years I have been traveling mostly in Italy and Europe, but I also love going back to New York, my second home. I think it’s one of best places to shoot street photography, along with London and Istanbul. This collection is a selection of my latest best shots taken in those places. I love catching people’s interactions and I often try to fill the whole frame. Lately I have also been working quite a bit on reflections.
