AUTHOR
Karim Carella is a self-thought italian landscape photographer. Fascinated about great contemporary photographers such as Michael Kenna and Josef Hoflehner, he elaborated their lessons and inspired by the Nature he captures natural elements and landscapes with a new eye, in the attempt to discover those emotions and sensations which simple things can reveal.

The search for a personal style resulted in a formal coherence built on two points of reference: black & white and square format. Other recurrent elements are minimalist compositions, long exposures and strong contrasts. He pays great attention to this last aspect during the post production, limitated to the “camera lucida”.
The exploration process of Karim Carella moves along precise patterns. Place exploration: the images are taken somewhere in the world, both in the countryside, on mountain tops and along beaches. Genre exploration: he sweeps from macros to wide landscapes and narrative images. Last but not least the exploration of the photographic art and its relationship to the author.
