Natascia Aquilano

Photographer

Social and documentary photography has always
been at the center of my main interests

After graduating with a degree in Communication Studies, she began to develop an increasing interest in photography, understood not only as a purely informational and descriptive medium but as a powerful communicative tool for telling and recounting.

His studies began as self-taught and deepened later at ISFCI (Higher Institute of Photography and Integrated Communication) in Rome and WSP Photography, also in Rome.

Social and documentary photography has always been at the centre of his main interests, an area that he constantly continues to deepen through readings, and meetings, but especially in the field.

With ever-curious eyes and attentive and respectful listening, Natascia Aquilano has done work in Africa, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and in worlds almost unknown, if closer to her.
