IN ALTRE PAROLE LA STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.

MY NAME IS RAFFAELE LADOGANA, BORN IN 1978 IN PUGLIA WHERE I CURRENTLY RESIDE. I LOVE TAKING PHOTOS WITH MY TRUSTY FUJIFILM CAMERA. I DO IT AS OFTEN AS I CAN, ALWAYS GIVING MY BEST AND STRIVING TO DO GOOD WORK IN ALL CONDITIONS. I HAVE BEEN CURIOUS SINCE BIRTH, FASCINATED BY THE HUMAN ELEMENT, AND A SKILLED OBSERVER.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY. I APPROACHED THIS WORLD THROUGH A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE, INITIALLY CAPTIVATED BY THE COLORS OF LANDSCAPES I DISCOVERED DURING MY TRAVELS. LATER, I TRANSITIONED TO EXPERIMENTING WITH “BLACK AND WHITE,” UNTIL I BECAME ENTHRALLED BY SOCIAL DYNAMICS, REAL AND SPONTANEOUS SITUATIONS IN ANY PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BE OBSERVED—ON THE STREET OR AMONG PEOPLE. IN OTHER WORDS, STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.
• IN 2018, I COMPLETED A BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE ORGANIZED BY PHOTOGRAPHER MICHELE VINO.
• IN 2019, I PARTICIPATED IN A STREET PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP ORGANIZED BY THE “SCUOLA SPAZIOTEMPO” IN BARI WITH PHOTOGRAPHER FRANCESCO FARACI.
• BESIDES THEM, I CONTINUOUSLY DRAW INSPIRATION FROM SOME CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHERS I GREATLY ADMIRE AND RESPECT: SEAN TUCKER, ERIK KIM, FAIZAL WESTCOTT, AND THE LEGENDARY ROBERTO PANCIATICI, WHOM I HOPE TO MEET IN PERSON ONE DAY.
• IN 2022, I COMPLETED A MASTERCLASS ON PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPOSITION ORGANIZED BY NEAPOLITAN PHOTOGRAPHER FRANCESCO VEROLINO.
• IN SEPTEMBER 2023, TWO OF MY SHOTS WERE SELECTED TO BE PART OF THE MAGAZINE “Vol. 4, Issue 6 Sept. 2023” PUBLISHED BY THE WEBSITE DOCU MAGAZINE.
• IN JUNE 2024, MY PHOTOS WERE ALSO SELECTED FOR THE MAGAZINE “Spirituality #13” BY THE INDEPENDENT ITALIAN PUBLISHER EYESHOT, CURATED BY MARCO SAVARESE, WITH TEXTS BY LUCREZIA BONAROTA.
• ON JUNE 28, 29, AND 30, 2024, I WAS INVITED TO THE “PHOTO EXHIBITION MILANO 2024,” WHERE I EXHIBITED 4 OF MY PHOTOS ALONGSIDE MANY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS FROM THE MONOCHROME WEB PHOTO AGENCY, SPECIALIZING IN STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.
