She has exhibited fine art photos, particularly of flamenco, and has self-published a book with a selection of her best images. She sees fine art photography as the translation of my photographic approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi, my name is Valentina Benigni. I started photography with silver cameras at 5, turning it into a profession in 2020. As a fine art photographer, I exhibit my limited-edition photos, especially flamenco. In 2022, I self-published a fine art book with a selection of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My photographic approach takes on the literal meaning of &#8220;photography&#8221;: writing with light. I love light and being able to tell stories with it. The camera is a magical tool that allows you to tell unique stories that can take the viewer&#8217;s mind to unknown places of the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I see fine art photography as a captured moment in the language of emotions. Dance photography has deep roots in me: it has been practiced for almost 20 years. Today I dance through my eyes, capturing the emotions displayed on live shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am self-taught: I learned mostly by testing and playing with the camera, but also by reading books and doing workshops with important photographers that allowed me to learn new points of view, to learn, and to find my own photographic style and language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t remember my first shot, but I remember why I started: I liked to capture unrepeatable instants and spontaneous emotions that could live forever. With time it also became a way to express myself, using creativity during the shoot: framing, long pose, black and white contrast, and geometry. They all served to convey more than just a static shot and to tell a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/raminbarzegar_official\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link external\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/raminbarzegar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-globe-line\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tkPAOfficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-facebook\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read about the interview with Keren Sohezki, creator of AI Alchemy&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/?p=28472\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valentina Benigni started photography at age five and turned it into a profession in 2020.
