Fabio Bucciarelli

Country: Italy | Born: 1980

Fabio Bucciarelli is an award-winning photographer and journalist known for his documentation of conflicts and humanitarian consequences of war. Fabio spent the last years covering the major world changing events in Africa, Middle East and Europe. He reported from Libya - from the beginning of the civil war until the death of Gaddafi - from Syria - during the bloodiest battle of Aleppo - from Rojava and Iraq and from the African forgotten countries including South Sudan and Mali. Fabio feels the urgency to tell the stories of people who are rendered powerless and provide unbiased information focused on human rights.

In 2013 his coverage of the Syrian war was recognized with the Robert Capa Gold Medal awarded by the Overseas Press Club of America. Fabio has also been prized by World Press Photo, Prix Bayeux-Calvados, Pictures of The Year International, Best of Photojournalism, Days Japan International, Sony International Photography Award, Master Report Award and Ponchielli Prize between other awards and citations.

L'odore della guerra. Inviati al fronte

Author: Fabio Bucciarelli, Stefano Citati

Publisher: Aliberti

Year: 2012

What do you feel when you are on the front line, surrounded by guerrillas and exposed to fire? The senses are alert, peaks of adrenaline and moments of quiet (before the storm) are followed in a swing of thrilling emotions. When you are on the front line, where fighters fight for something that has become more important than their own lives, you only know that you are risking everything because of the importance of being there and of communicating to the world what is happening. In a day at the front, in the war, bonds are formed, friendships, coincidences: but the rhythm of the days often burns everything that has been built. Because there, at the front, you are exposed to the fate of the moment, in the grasp of events that none of those around you can control. At the mercy of history.

Nationality: United States

Born: 1938 - Died: 2013

Deborah Turbeville was born in 1938, in Boston. Summers were spent in Ogunquit, Maine. 'Beautiful Place by the Sea' is the oceanside township's motto. 'Very bleak, very stark, very beautiful,' was Turbeville's description of it. Life was comfortable - she went to private school. Yet her mother described her as a 'shy and scary child'. Which is as it should be. The uneasy shuffle of ambiguity is the essence of Turbeville and her work - which itself shuffles between fashion (…)

Maren Elize Klemp

Nationality: Norway

"I grew up in a small town outside of Oslo, and started photography when I was a teenager. My father bought me my first camera when I was seventeen, and I immediately knew that I wanted to become a photographer. Writing was one of my passions in this period of my life, but I also was searching for a way to express myself visually. I had no talent for either painting and drawing, so photography naturally became the right medium for me.

Unfortunately I dropped out (…)
