My Scholarship entry - Street photographs about human beings in Lavapiés

Spain | Saturday, November 22, 2014 | 5 photos

I'm Italian, a real florentine one, but I'm living in Madrid since 2011. I love to travel, since I was a child I had the possibility to travel around my country and Europe thanks to my parents and their motorhome, and I love meet new people and different cultures, i'm just openmind and I always give a chance to everybody. I studied journalism because my dream was (and always will be) to go all over the world and a tell the stories of all the places and people that I could had met. Then I studied photography because you can use an image as well as you can use words, but a photo (or a video) is just more effective, more "unviersal" and at the same time is personal and can provokes a lot of diferent emotions. This scholarship is a huge oportunity, because I had the chance to be part of a real photography session in a real photostudio and I loved it because I could really understood and practice the importance of lights and lighting, but this project is just what I had always dreamed: go in a place, live in it, know it and understand it, meet the culture, the peolpe, the everything and be able to trasmit all the feelings, the beauties, the ugliness of a moment in a single shot.
