Nelly Schneider

Country: Italy 🇮🇹

Born and raised in Rome, aside from four years she spends in New York to foster personal growth, she currently lives in the eternal city. She begins shooting regularly in 2013 wandering around her city, but it is only in 2019 though that she starts printing her own work making it public by offering it at the Wave Market Fair in Rome. Self-taught in digital photography, post processing and printing, and as an advocate of continuous education, she learns while experimenting. At the same time she frequently uses multiple exposures or other unconventional shooting methods that break the rules of photography to emphasize movement rather than documenting the harsh reality. In fact, she is not interested in representing reality as it is, her end purpose is to bring the observer somewhere they like, away from the everyday hassles, to convey their thoughts so that they can disconnect and find a place where to unwind. Here they stimulate their imagination triggered by their experiences, background and aspirations, so that they add something of their own in reading and completing the image.
