entry description
In Rome, there are hundreds illegal occupations, of which 35 only in 2014. Occupations are not always about houses, sometimes they are derelict buildings, such as barracks, office sites and even small disused churches. About 50 families, let alone by the state, often unemployed or contract workers, they have no alternative other than to take refuge in abandoned facilities. Their precarious and difficult existences are constrained in tight spaces without sanitary facilities, shared bathrooms and water shortages. They are also forced to share accommodation with people from different cultural contexts.about the photographer
I deal with social documentary photography to highlight the cultural and/or social features of places, communities and people I get in touch with.To me photography is a necessity, a need and not a mere proof of concept.It's the desire to record and tell through pictures all aspects of reality.Sometimes the photography can be a means of examination and social outcry. My photo features express the desire to write stories and life through pictures of the people I meet.The primary intention is to communicate that diversity is a specific resource to appraise with the contribution that everyone can give to community where he lives. Stylistically, I often use the wide-angle lens, also for close-up, because my first desire is to create a "penetrating gaze" towards the main character of the story, his essence.back to gallery
