Skin - Simona Perrini
Simona Perrini is an Italian photographer based in Bari, an Apulian city on the Adriatic Sea. Simona graduated in Italy and lived between Bari and Milan before spending five years in Africa where she captured portraits and landscapes that tell stories of pain, strength and beauty.
After exploring the outside world, Simona wanted to explore her internal world, so she returned to her roots, to Bari where she began a deep and delicate study of herself through the lens.
She became the photographer, the model and the director.
“My self-portraits are natural with little – if any – planning. My face is almost always hidden, as revealing it would impact the experience too much and leave little to the imagination. This way the viewer can identify themself with the subject and the feelings I portray.
My images are ethereal as well as enigmatic. My focus is feminine beauty characterized by an elegant balance of lights and shadows. I love to hide and merge with the environment around me, creating intriguing and evocative images, often surreal and dreamy.”
What being featured means to Simona: “being featured is a way to make my work known, and encourages the creation of new possible collaborations, new projects, and ideas”.
One of her photos has been selected for the “IMAGENATION PARIS 2021” at Galerie Joseph Turenne in the very heart of the Marais district for the main exhibition, "Ethereal: A Modern Romance”.
