domenico sciaraffa
analog street and travel photographer
born in a remote area in southern Italy, I photograph people not to explain them, but to meet them. driven by intuition and curiosity, I've the belief that meaningful images emerge from attention rather than intention.
working mostly with manual analogue cameras, I embrace slowness, uncertainty, and the unexpected. the limitations of film are not obstacles but an essential part of the process, inviting patience, attention and acceptance.
my work reflects an ongoing search for genuine human presence – a photography that becomes less an act of taking pictures than a way of being with others.
nelle mie fotografie, come in tutto ciò che studio e osservo, cerco di spiegarmi la natura delle cose, se c'è.
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
