Carlotta
Cardana is an Italian portrait and documentary photographer based
in London.
After
obtaining a degree in Theatre and Performing arts and a photography
diploma, she lived in Argentina and Mexico City, where she started
freelancing as an editorial photographer.
Her
recent personal work explores the issues of identity, belonging and
community, whether among young Italians living abroad, couples from
the Mod subculture or modern American Indians. Her approach to
portraiture privileges the subject’s experience and stresses the
relationship between people and their environment.
In
2013, she was named “Discovery of the Year” at the Lucie Awards.
She was also among the winners of the New York Photo Awards, the PDN
Photo Annual, the LensCulture Exposure Awards and the Association of
Photographers Open Awards. She was shortlisted for the 2014 Sony
World Photography Awards.
Cardana’s
work has been featured in numerous exhibitions around the world –
among others Noorderlicht
Photofestival, Month of Photography Los Angeles, Kolga Tbilisi Photo,
The Powerhouse Arena
– and publications such as The
Guardian Weekend,
Marie
Claire,
D
Repubblica,
Rolling
Stone,
L’Espresso,
and Flair.
Parallel
to her photographic practice, she works in the moving image as music
video director and cinematographer in short films and commissioned
social documentaries.
