About me

 

Michele Agostinis, Venice, 1979

An artist and photographer with a deep connection to Latin America, he has dedicated years to documenting the region. His work includes a 12-month project on child labor in Latin America, titled "Lima, Peru, the Angels of the Street," which culminated in a traveling exhibition.
He has also explored life on the African continent, documenting the daily lives of Kenyans in an exhibition titled "People of the True Continent."

Born and educated in Venice, his hometown has always been a source of inexhaustible inspiration and subjects. There, he worked as a photojournalist for media outlets such as "Il Gazzettino" and "Ansa" until 2014, after earning his degree in Economics.
In 2015, he moved to Vienna, where he currently resides and works as a portrait and international event photographer. His ability to communicate in several languages allows him to connect with people from diverse cultures and capture their stories in a unique and authentic way.

 

To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
