Bio - Silvia Minguzzi

I am an Italian photographer. I live and work in Rome.

Photography has always been part of my life, though not in the leading role forquite a long time.

In 2023 I decided to join a course on reportage and then it came home to me that photography was not just a passion.

It had become a need, an essential tool to observe and explore the world.

A year later I attended a Reportage Masterclass at Associazione Romana WSP photography,

where I was granted a scholarship for my work Nausicaa.

Before taking up photography as a profession I attended Medical School at University.

During my studies I was drawn to Medical Anthropology, and I also got interested in International Cooperation and Public Health.

These subjects imply many of the themes and topics I am presently exploring in my photo works.

My vision is aimed at the complexity of social, economic and cultural influences on individuals and communities.

Another theme that affects me and that I intend to further explore is the body,

not simply in biological terms but as an existential entity expressing both the inner self and the culture surrounding it.

I also collaborate with an independent publisher, Kipple Officina Libraria.

I am now working at the covers of their publications.
