About Michela Benaglia

After graduating in Industrial Design at the Politecnico of Milan, I worked for 10 years with design, graphics and exhibitions. During this period, photography became more and more important in my life, so that my initial passion has become work. I have started doing commercial and advertising works, both with photography and interactive video-installations for several brands and exhibitions.

In 2013 - 2014 I earned a Reportage Master at Jhon Kaverdash Academy in Milan and a Storytelling degree at the LUZ Academy. I also attended several workshops with: Antoine D’Agata, Daphne Angles, Eolo Perfido, Claudia Hinterseer, Renata Ferri. Now I teach Photography at ISAD University in Milan.
I do reportage for magazines, editorials and no-profit organizations.

In 2015 I have won the "Lanfranco Colombo" in Savignano for the best portfolio, with the project From 7 to 7 - Whene time stands still.
