Nature: Honorable Mention 2019 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The fog makes everything more fascinating and we rediscover, in their true essence, landscapes that we thought we knew. Things do not appear in their complexity but show themselves slowly, modeling themselves through the light that constantly changes. For me, who love black and white photography, the fog offers enchanting, almost metaphysical scenarios, until it fades away taking away even the dream that it has created.
AUTHOR
Simona Poncia approaches photography through a long cultural journey.
Graduated in Conservation of Cultural Heritage, she has always considered photography one of the most important forms of art.
"The camera is the equivalent of brushes and colors for the painter, it is only the instrument through which the photographer manages to make an aspect of reality immortal, in the continuous flow of time".
In her photos, mainly in black and white, silence is the protagonist, even in the frenzy of cities. Few elements, an intimate and spiritual dialogue with the observer to whom no one is allowed to participate. The essential becomes visible in her eyes.
Architectures, museums, works of art and everything that is part of her studies becomes the favorite subjects of his photos.
