All the Yazidi women we met in the town of Baadre (Iraq) are mourning the unspeakable violence that they have suffered and the absences they are experiencing: in each family some persons are missing, whether because they are dead or worse, because “they are still there, under ISIS". Still in the hands of the torturers, who knows where, in Iraq, in Syria. Who knows under what extremely harsh conditions.
I was born in Bergamo, Italy in 1975. I have worked as a hairstylist and make up artist since I was 17. In 2004, while on a trip to Asia, I discovered an interest in reportage photography. I have since travelled extensively pursuing my passion for photography and “telling stories worthy of being told.” My process is a blend of artistic expression and reportage, inspired by an openness to diverse cultures and traditions. Blending this openness with curiosity and artistic expression has allowed me to produce award winning photography.
