About alessandra ferragina

I am an italian graphic designer with a passion for photography. Looking back at my experiences so far, the best things happened to me when I stretched out of my comfort zone. That kind of “hold-your-breath-before -jumping” sort of feeling, scaring and exciting. A new place to live, a project that makes you a bit uncomfortable, a far away journey where you don’t speak the language… I love traveling with my backpack and a camera, seeing new places and meeting people along your journey, listening to their stories.
I like to blame my father for my love for photography: it all started with his canon ae1 which I still use. I also shoot digital and I like it for its sharpness even though it lacks the magic of “making a picture”. I don’t see myself as a photographer yet. I use photography in my work as a tool and in my life as therapy. There is something about walking and shooting that creates a sort of window to look at the world and, at the same time, at yourself.
