Being a Street Photographer. Interview with Simone Morelli, the Artist of Slowness

Essere street photographer. Intervista a Simone Morelli, l’artista della lentezza

Simone Morelli, a street photographer born in Rome in 1987, discusses his slow, analog approach to photography in an interview with Artribune. He began after receiving a Praktica film camera as a gift in Sweden in 2012, and was captivated by the process of shooting and printing on film. Morelli describes his method as instinctive yet deliberate, often working on long-term projects that build a coherent visual narrative rather than seeking single 'beautiful' images. He cites Josef Koudelka as a key influence and emphasizes the importance of patience and reflection in an era dominated by fast, digital imagery.

A Roma si celebra il fotografo riminese Marco Pesaresi a 25 anni dalla morte: docu-film e mostra

Rome is celebrating the work of Rimini-born photographer Marco Pesaresi (1964–2001), 25 years after his death, through two events organized by the photography training center Daylight School, led by Marco Sconocchia. A documentary film titled "Il granchio nudo – La storia di Marco Pesaresi," produced by Riccardo Caccia and Michela Fragomeni and directed by Marta E. Antonioli and Elena Padovan, will be screened on May 21 at Nuovo Cinema Aquila. The film features unpublished materials, including Pesaresi's diaries and poems, and includes interviews with those who knew him. A group exhibition, "UNDERGROUND. Il mondo sotto. Omaggio a Marco Pesaresi," opens May 29 at Daylight School, reinterpreting the themes of his photobook "Underground" through the eyes of 15 photographers.
