AUTHOR
Federica Santeusanio was born in Sanremo in 1988. She has been a professional photographer since 2010
Her photography focuses on a balanced observation of reality. Through lenses of her camera, she reinterprets that part of reality that captures her attention the most.
Federica first approach to photography dates back to her high school years. Blossomed just as a passion, photography soon became the most relevant part of her life, winning several competition and most of all, raising curiosity of the audience around her.
In 2008 she moves to Milan to fulfill her ambition in the field. She starts as assistant to famous fashion photographers, while widening her technical background through master course programs
At the end of her first year in Milan she has her first exhibition "Stolen Thoughts", featuring images shots between Milan and Dublin. Such exhibition confirms her ability and creativity and pushes her pictures a little more towards art rather than mere reportage.
Always looking to extend her boundaries, she starts collaboration in different fields, from fashion to design, from interior design to still life photography and art galleries.
M&C Saatchi, Cartier, Piaget, Krug, Renato Balestra, T'a Milano, Mila Shön, Iittala, Badenoch&Clark, Dom Perignon, Sky and Airbnb are just few of the names of the collaborations worth mentioning.
Federica is currently living between Milan and Paris, focusing her photography on portraits and reportage.
