ABOUT Alessio Mattia Ferrara

Born in Palermo Sicily self-taught and passionate about photography and the history of photography from 1900 to 1960 . I studied public and private construction and the history of urbanisation in European cities.
In 2012, following my studies on urbanization I began a practical journey around Europe, photographing and experimenting with Street Photography and Photo Reportage using the old thinking of Straight Photography, where it was provided the limitation of the use of photo editing and photographic scheme to leave the images the purity of the original shot. In 2017 I studied digital photography and journalistic reportage in Berlin, the following year 2018 I studied analogue photo development and printing . In 2019 I participated in exhibitions in association with some art collectives

In my spare time I am working on the project “Berlinecore” and I organize Street Photography lessons for beginners. “For me, one way to understand photography is to understand the reasons of the other, because the other is an inseparable part of me that I don’t know yet.”
