about

domenico sciaraffa
analog street and travel photographer
born in a remote area in southern Italy, after wandering across Europe to complete his humanities studies, he settled in France, where he loses himself in photographic flâneries among the typical Alsatian houses and along the banks of the Ill river.
his first encounter with analog photography dates back to the spring of 2017, when his German friend Natalie handed him a DDR-manufactured Praktica MTL5 and invited him to give it a try. since then, he has been on a relentless search for intriguing characters and moments.
life, like light, is outside: his aim is to chase and grasp it, or at least gather enough of it to tell a vision – and to share one version of it – by capturing it on film.

fotografia di viaggio
la mente è fatta che se non la apri
si chiude
e l’occhio pure
fotografia di strada
incedere lento e precario
alla ricerca di qualcosa di straordinario
o anche di ordinario
reportage
ogni tanto cerco di raccontare una storia
in modo più sistematico
ma ancora non ho imparato
