Everyday Italy: Finding Extraordinary in the Ordinary

My current project consists of documentary, street photography, and environmental portraiture throughout Italy.  I am working toward a gallery exhibition, where I can showcase some of these images telling a story of some of its fading professions- a doll repair shop in Rome, a cobbler working with tools from turn of the last century, the pride of a maitre’D - as well as highlighting the mundane of everyday life.  Our world is increasingly disconnected, absorbed by our phones. I want to turn the viewer's attention back to the world around us, documenting these overlooked moments through my own perspective.
