About Francesco Pennacchio

I am an eclectic human whose experience range from physics to photojournalism, data science and public health. Still, I only feel complete with a camera in my hand and a story to tell. With my photography, I want my audience to experience this instant of suspension and connection between mind and soul.

During my MA in Documentary Photography at UAL London, I started exploring my family’s photo archive and progressively discovered Polaroid and film photography as my favourite mean of expression.

I am fascinated by human beings. My general focus lies at the intersection between memory, bereavement, identity, religion and folklore. I am deeply in love with Edinburgh, the Volga, Spanish religious celebrations, photo archives, herbaria, botanical gardens and Lady Gaga.

Currently based between Lausanne/Geneva, Switzerland, and Milan/Brescia, Italy.
