about the photographer
Anna Marzia Soria, alias --- Biba --- freelance photographer based in Bari,south Italy, always interested in photography and art. He loves a type of minimal photography in which the approach to the representation of reality takes on a more anthropological and artistic slant, sometimes documentary and in which the interaction between the natural world and the human world, even in a more conceptual sense, are at the center of his photographic story in an almost dreamlike suspension dimension. Photography is for her a long-term dialogue with the soul. Reflections in the form of an image. In his shots he seems to forget the perception of time. Everything happens in a simple and slow way, with the rhythms of natural light.back to gallery
