About Giordano Simoncini

The love for photography has been with me since childhood. A "on the road" trip to Patagonia in 2016 was a turning point: there I started taking my first pictures, changing my way of observing reality. Looking at the works of great photographers such as Fan Ho, Sergio Larrain, Josef Koudelka, Mario Giacomelli and Paolo Pellegrin, I began to develop a deep interest in composition, the use of light and the strength of subjects. From that moment, the desire to build and nurture my own vision and style was born in me. After several trips that have fueled this need, I decided to dedicate myself completely to photography and photojournalism this year after attending an advanced workshop in Peru, in the Sacred Valley of the Urubamba River, under the guidance of master Ernesto Bazan. During this experience I made Bajo las Nubes, a black and white report that consists of an interpretation of the ancient Andean cult linked to Pacha Mama, the Mother Earth. This experience was fundamental from the photographic point of view, prompting me to investigate the complexity of the relationship between man and environment.
