Barbara is an Italian analogue photographer, who uses a mix of instant and non-instant cameras. She likes to shoot in natural light during her travels (close or far from home), giving her personal interpretation of the place visited.
Analogue photography makes me more reflective, totally concentrated in the present moment, a condition which I cannot achieve as easily using a digital camera. I cherish every shot and photograph only scenes that really resonate with me. About instant photographs in particular, I love the ethereal look provided by the Polaroid SX-70 and the unpredictability of film developing in my hands.
The following photos were shot during the Venice Carnival in 2017, with a Polaroid SX-70 and the Impossible Color SX-70 film.
Through my work I want to communicate the delicate beauty of landscapes, common people and animals. A beauty that is not always apparent at first glance.

Aprecio cada toma y fotografío solo escenas que realmente resuenan conmigo. Sobre las fotografías instantáneas en particular, me encanta la apariencia etérea proporcionada por el Polaroid SX-70 y la imprevisibilidad de la película que se revela en mis manos.
A través de mi trabajo quiero comunicar la delicada belleza de los paisajes, la gente normal y los animales. Una belleza que no siempre es evidente a primera vista.
