AUTHOR
My name is Linda de' Nobili and I live and work in Rome.
I deal with social documentary photography to highlight the cultural and/or social features of places, communities and people I get in touch with.
I've improved myself with specialization courses at the Centro Sperimentale di Fotografia Adams and at the Scuola Permanente di Fotografia Graffiti in Rome.
To me photography is a necessity, a need and not a mere proof of concept. It's the desire to record and tell through pictures all aspects of reality. Sometimes the photography can be a means of examination and social outcry.
My photo features express the desire to write stories and life through pictures of the people I meet. The primary intention is to communicate that diversity is a specific resource to appraise with the contribution that everyone can give to community where he lives.
Stylistically, I often use the wide-angle lens, also for close-up, because my first desire is to create a "penetrating gaze" towards the main character of the story, his essence. The wide-angle lens loses his narrative meaning of description of contexts and permits an intimate style with an interior dialogue between a photographer and the portrayed subject.
