Laura Zamboni
fotografo artistico
I studied architecture at Politecnico di Milano, where I obtained my master's degree in April 2008.
Since then, and until 2014, I collaborated with the lecturer at Politecnico di Milano as a tutor and co-ordinator of degree theses. Since 2009 I have been working as a freelance as "Laura Zamboni ARCHITETTO".
Always passionate about photography, I took several courses, especially during university studies, when I attended the "Photography of Architecture" course held by photographer Marco Introini.
Tematiche
I'm interested in landscape and architecture photography with particular attention to the compositional relationships between the natural or artificial landscape elements that photography records, and the light conditions that modify its perception.
In my photographic works I investigate the nature of the subjects, also declared through the relationship with the context, trying to highlight it with clear and essential images with the aim of documenting and connecting with the surrounding world.
My images seek a technical-formal balance, going towards a methodical approach. This, to avoid distracting elements. I don't try to amaze, but to bring out simple, clear elements, especially with regard to architectural and landscape photography; elements normally taken for granted, on which our mind does not dwell, and which we forget to value due to our frenzy and our approach.
I would like to focus on how important it is knowing and identifying places, in order to treat them with awareness, with attention to their aesthetics, a theme very dear to me. Aesthetics not just as an external appearance of things and as beauty, but something deeper. Aesthetics as the character, the sensitive knowledge (given by the senses) of places, both in their natural and artificial parts, made by man.
In my self-taught training I am influenced by the photography of Luigi Ghirri, Andreas Gursky, Michael Wolf
I take part in international photography exhibitions.
Quotazione
“Meticulously framed, Laura captures the clean geometry of road, farmed fields, lampposts and cables in her home region of the PO Valley in Italy, all enveloped by a thick, silent fog. The stillness is palpable, and a quiet drama – of travel and adventure – prevails.” – Life Framer
