ORIGIN AND DIRECTION

Photography Art

Luca Brogi
PHOTOGRAPHER

Photographic project focused on the atmosphere of an area of the Canary Islands, where the wind and the volcanic earth are dominant elements.

It is a circular installation, from the center of this structure you can see the images placed in circular one next to the other as in a carousel, listening to the sound of the wind.

The Canary Islands are of volcanic origin, an aspect that we can find everywhere, the atmosphere that breathes brings me to a distant past of the earth as a planet, our elementary origins. We human beings are born from the elements that the volcanoes have scattered throughout the planet, in the Canaries these elements are very present as the wind is present as a connecting element between the spaces, the wind that carries the spores, these two elements create this special atmosphere full of sensations and emotions, they remind me to be part of a very vast and powerful ensemble.

BIO

President of the non-profit association “Le Dame Schools”

I started photographing using the development and the chemical printing, realizing the solutions directly from the chemical elements, I gained experience with every type of 35 mm and medium format camera at the optical bench. Later I moved into digital processes. My research is focused on the relationship between perception and reality, between illusion and truth.

I was born in 1967 in a town in the province of Lucca, to a family of farmers. I radicalized a strong desire to record and document, as a kind of obsessive inner search. At the age of 8-9 years I practiced with a small camera ZIMMERMANN. In 1979 with my first 35mm COSINA CT-1 camera I recorded family moments on vacation and in home life.

In 1992 I went to the “DAMS”, University of Bologna, in the field of artistic disciplines, in a period when the city was electrified by changes and political turmoil. A city where I found the first professional assignments as a photographer.

In 1995 I moved to Milan where I gained highly professional experience in the field of fashion and design photography, collaborating with internationally renowned photographers such as: Andrea Marchionni, Malena Mazza, Douglas Ordway and Sofia Riva, and highly specialized photographic studios such as Superstudio1 by Fabrizio Ferri.

I recently worked as a responsible photographer in projects for some important Italian companies such as: Family and Slim spa. His works have appeared in several publications, both nationally and internationally, such as GQ Italia, Domus, Estetica, Mucchio Selvaggio, Rockerilla, Cinema Sessanta, Orologi & Market, Il Mare e la Marina, Valori Magazine.

Now I dedicate myself to the free school of visual arts, and the realization of a widespread dissemination of works of art in general and of any level of expression, as a universal language.
