Daniele Zarri
Daniele Zarri

I was born in a small Italian town, which helped me in the search for details, I have a relationship with free photography, I prefer to go along with my personal research rather than receiving instructions.I shoot alone on the street, I like the company but I feel more comfortable if I am alone.
Photography has always been a reason for me to document life, in recent years I have changed the approach to this type of documentation.
I feel lucky to have recognition in Italy and in the world, with which I have been able to relate to other realities and get to know enthusiasts of street photography.

About The Collection

Since 2014 I started using the camera as a tool to create a moment of personal escape.
I have many shots in the archive but I mostly publish juxaposition shots with which I am better known.
I like to create stories by combining elements that I find on the street, sometimes surreal other bizarre, I move with my mind always full of the details that I find on the street trying to keep them all under control and foreseeing what can happen.
This approach frees my mind from daily commitments and makes me feel completely immersed in this vision of mine.
I prefer not to pose the subjects and find satisfaction in being able to capture a moment that could hardly repeat itself in front of me.
When i take the time to take pictures, I love to stay suspended in this search of mine even for hours, with a camera in hand you are never alone.

Venice Photo Lab

We are honored to announce the new partnership with Venice Photo Lab.
One of their main objectives is to present photographic art to the public for free: a way to encourage young people to dream, to see new horizons through photography, which stimulates travel, knowledge, culture and socializing.
They decided to exhibit in Venice and in this artistic laboratory to compare traditional and artisan art with a “new”, democratic and smartphone-friendly art, thus bringing together two different artistic processes, to create a mix of images and emotions, of experiences and knowledge.
Venice Photo Lab thus becomes a space, physical and mental, where tradition and contemporaneity meet, linked by the same creative process even if with different results.In this space, the photos coexist with the traditional work of decorators and restorers, which continues even during the exhibition period; so the stories told by MANY photographers mix with those of the artisans within a wonderful frame made of brick walls, stone dust, stucco and colors that speak to us of traditions, experiences and manual skills.

Stefano Carotenuto
Born in ’84 in sunny Napoli, Italy. I love being on the streets looking for interesting characters, ambiguous situations, paradoxes, juxtapositions and so on. Walking and watching and shooting pictures has turned into an amazing hobby. They call it street photography, at any rate, it became the right “therapy” to feel better about myself and the others and to make sense of things.

Dario Antoniani
I’m Dario, I’m Italian and I live in Campobasso a small town in central Italy. I am not a professional photographer but an enthusiast. I have been taking photos for 5-6 years but I have been fond of street photography for a long time before. When I’m on the street I try to photograph what I see, without contamination and changes, trying to capture moments and actions that we often can’t see.

About The Collection

STYLE
I do not preclude anything from what I photograph. I try to capture everything that attracts my interest. However, if I had to find something that attracts me the most, I would say that I prefer ironic shots with particular light effects.

About The Collection

The name of Francesco’s street photography project is Urbanity. The term “Urbanity” is the union of the words “urban” and “humanity”.
Francesco tries to tell the life and the movements of people in cities, through his eye. His style is made of strong contrasts.
When he is on the street he tells what he see using light to obtain unusual and sometimes abstract images.
Francesco uses the light to show only what he want and everything else turns black.
In 2019 Urbanity has also become a book, an homage to Turin, his city.

Andrea Morbidelli
I’m an Italian boy passionate of street photography, living in a small town situated on the Adriatic Sea.
I started taking street photos in August 2019, when I bought my first Fujifilm camera that I always bring with me. When I went in Berlin with one of my friends, a talented street photographer, and I found my approach to photography.
I travel a lot since I was a child, and I am very curious to know the differences of other peoples, photos are the medium I use to approach with these different cultures.
The scenes I see during my travels are always best through my camera lens, because I became able to capture moments of unknown peoples life without interfering with them. I’m also a bit shy so, street photography in particular, is my way to approach with strangers, to understand them a little while I continually try to improve my camera skills.

About The Collection

Luca Gennatiempo
I am an Italian photographer from Salerno, born in 1986. The passion for street photography was born in 2014 in Pavia, where I lived for 6 years for work needs. My photography is heterogeneous, I have not yet developed a recognizable and personal style of mine, but this reflects my moody and fickle personality.
I am inspired by great photographers such as William Klein or the more recent Alex Webb.

About The Collection

In my photos I look for the balance between geometry, composition and arrangement of the subjects. Some are humanist in nature, others reflect the typical candid Photography.

Giancarlo Bomba
I’m Giancarlo Bomba. I’m Italian, I’m a photographer and a graphic designer as well. Due to my visionary attitude and creativity I’ve always daydreamt about a fantasy world full of images. I clearly remember how it all began. Many years ago I happened to find a small, cheap compact camera. That was the time I first fell in love with photography and since then, I’ve never quit it. As I grew up, I meant to improve my technique by taking classes and attending professional courses. My personal experience, combined with educational training helped me become more self-confident even when I had to develop new visual languages. Then I had the opportunity to explore social photography as well as anything related to visual storytelling. I love both so much and I usually compare street photography to jazz, as the latter suggests we can create order out of chaos. That’s a true inspiration, an additional insight that really makes the difference and helps capture the right, instant moments of our daily life.

Federico Feliciotti
I’m an italian amateur street photographer. I live in a small town in central Italy and I started to love street photography about a year ago, during one of my travels. Since then I started experimenting and photographing everywhere. Street photography, in particular, makes you understand what you have around you, allows you to pay attention to detail. For me it’s a means of grasping reality better and experiencing it more deeply.

About The Collection

My photos are a summary of my path in this first year of photography. Starting from a more ‘’classic’’ style, gradually I approached a mnore conceptual and studied style, where I always start from an idea in my mind.

About The Collection

NEW YORK CITY STREETS.
New York City amazes me – a melting pot where, despite the mixture of lives and cultures, people preserve their own individuality. Those single identities I like to observe and catch trough my camera.In these photographs the juxtaposition of elements combines with vivid colors and the high contrast of lights and shadows to convert ordinary moments of life into surrealistic scenes.

Andrea Pozzoni
I was born in 1981 in Italy (Sondrio) My approach to street photography, with all its nuances, is quite recent. I used to photograph people, now I photograph the particular context and the individual person is an element that often undergoes the context itself. My small home town is the main place where I take pictures. l look for plays of light and geometric shadows and shades, where diagonals are often the predominant element. What I seek in my photography is geometry, isolation, coincidences and strong contrast between color and negative space .
