Alexander Prymak
Alexander Primak was born in 1957 in Kiev(Ukraine). Engaged in photography since 2006. Member of the Union of Photographers of Ukraine since 2008. Was admitted to the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP) in 2011. Prizewinner and participant of many Ukrainian and foreign exhibitions.
In the process of creating the photo, I like the uncertainty the most. The moment you press the shutter button, you don’t know what will happen in the end. You expect the film to develop, you decide what you will do next, what method you will print. You print (not always successfully), redo it, try something else, and finally it works. And the result is completely unexpected. And all this uncertainty I like the most. Therefore, I chose alternative printing methods, in which there are no repetitions, where each print is unique. To date, I own many techniques: such as Oilprint, cyanotype, callitype, humbichromat printing, humoil, carbon transfer, lith print and others.
Why am I doing this photo? Maybe because I try, as athletes, to increase the level of difficulty, get a better result, see a new effect in the picture. Therefore, I am learning new and new printing methodprima457@gmail.com Alexander Prymak

Andrea Cittadini
I am a photographer fascinated by Emotions and, following this passion.
I discovered photography and printing with ancient techniques. I believe that a print made by hand with these techniques represents an artistic arrival point for any photographer.
For years I have concentrated my activity on wedding photo services aimed at foreign couples who are getting married in Italy, receiving numerous international awards including the coveted title of Photographer of the Year of the WPJA.
At today I represent several of the largest industry associations in the world such as the International Society of Portrait and Wedding Photographers and the Best of Wedding Photography.
My studio collaborates with some of the most important international wedding agencies in Italy. From 2019 I started a collaboration with Emilio Tini, an established fashion photographer, to create emotional backstage reportages on his sets.Currently, I print with Platinum - Palladio and Cyanotype techniques. I make tintype portraits with two large format cameras designed and built by me.
I recently held two Masterclasses on Cyanotype technique at the annual Convention of the ANFM (National Association of Wedding Photographers). I have a modified infrared digital camera that I mainly use for landscape photography.www.andreacittadinifotografo.it info@andreacittadini.com Andrea Cittadini Andrea Cittadini 06063 Magione (Perugia) Italy

Antonio Castellani
(Testo da tradurre in inglese)
A 14 anni il primo Still Life con una Leica IIIF del 1952 Affascinato dalle immagini di Anselm Adams, Edward Weston, Karl Blossfeldt e Man Ray, nel 1976 mi trasferii a Milano dove ho avuto come severi e precisi maestri Christopher Broadbent e Jean Bernard Aegerter. Dopo 20 anni di pellicola piana, nel 1996 fui uno dei primi in Italia a credere nelle potenzialità di elaborazione dell'immagine digitale ad alta risoluzione, iniziando l'avventura con un'Hasselblad e un dorso digitale flash Dicomed 16Mpx Dal 2012 sono tornato per passione alla pellicola e alla stampa su cotone, poi al metodo del collodio umido - wet plate - ambrotipo l'unico vero, diretto e irripetibile inventato da Frederick Scott Archer nel 1852

Antonio Domingues
I was born in Vichy (France) in 1971.
Author Self-taught photographer, I live and work in Paris.
Until the birth of my first child in 2003, the photographic act was only a way for me to immortalize good moments. This event aroused a sudden awareness of my duty of memory and questions about my identity as a man, son and father. Photography has become a way for me to build the history I want to leave to my children. What will remain after me?
The photographic act is also a way to express my feelings. I constantly ask myself what we are and what we feel in our depths; our anxieties, our desires, our history, our lacks are at the origin of my reflection and my production and nourish them continuously
Being able to express what I am and what I experience is not only a personal therapy but also a way to share my vision of the relationships we have with each other and more generally to become aware of this that we are human beings.
My photograph is intimate and personal, it echoes your own questionshttps://antoniodomingues.format.com/ domingues.antonio@orange.fr Antonio Domingues Antonio Domingues

Barbara Ghidini
My name is Barbara and I am a visual artist specialized in photography and who works and experiment mainly with analogic medias, using especially ancient photographic techniques and developing processes. In 2006 I established in Barcelona where I started studying black & white printing and developing techniques for photos and photomontage in a darkroom environment and I immediately felt in love with that magic world that marked my direction.
In 2009 I started a darkroom project with some friends at Taller Milans, a creative platform for artists; in this space I have been working 6 years on her personal projects and research, experimenting with the historical photographic process of gum bichromate, cyanotype, VanDyke, carbon transfer, salt and albumen print and wet plate collodion.
In the last three years I have devoted myself almost exclusively to the recovery of the old profession of “fotografo minutero”, also known as walking photographer; my workday flows outdoors between random encounters and silver gelatin portraits.www.barbaraghidini.info barbara.hongkong@gmail.com Barbara Ghidini

Cinzia Battagliola
Cinzia Battagliola è nata a Brescia e vive a Gussago (BS).
La fotografia è il mezzo che utilizza per esprimere attraverso un percorso di autoritratti il suo mondo interiore. Ha iniziato da autodidatta approfondendo poi con corsi a Brescia, Milano, Varese.
Dal 2008 utilizzando una piccola macchina Polaroid inizia un percorso di approfondimento del sé, gli scatti seguono un progetto di sequenze e riguardano il corpo come contenitore di memoria in continua trasformazione, come involucro in contatto con la mente. L'autoritratto rappresenta per lei l'essenza, l'inizio, la possibile verità. Attraverso la Fotografia Istantanea e la sua manipolazione con varie tecniche riesce a rappresentare un piccolo universo fatto di quotidianità e sentimenti che si offrono a chi li osserva e diventano poi universali.
Dal 2007 collabora con le scuole attraverso progetti fotografici per promuovere la fotografia come linguaggio espressivo.
Nel 2015 ha pubblicato il suo primo libro fotografico dal titolo: “Sul filo dei sogni”, inserito e tutt'ora presente nella libreria della Galleria Carla Sozzani a Milano e presso la libreria Armani a Milano.
Nel 2016 è stata curatrice della Mostra : "PhotograpHER" donne che fotografano le donne, presso lo SPAZIO CONTEMPORANEA di Brescia . Oltre 70 artiste in mostra tra cui: J.M.Cameron, Ruth Bernard, Diane Arbus,ecc..

Domenico Veneziano
I was born in Palermo in 1970. I began growing a passion for photography at an early age. When I was 12, I started using photography as a personal medium, trying from the beginning, through earlier simple manipulations such as photographic collages, to fulfil and enrich my universe, still made of games and discoveries. Today my creative engine continues to be amazement and experimentation. Following the age of 14, after I have experimented and demolished all kind of amateur film format ever existed, I discovered the dim red light of my greatest passion: the darkroom, from which I have not yet come out.

Luigi Menozzi
Luigi Menozzi (Reggio Emilia, 1957), since his early works, has focused his attention on nature and the natural environment, first lingering on the landscape, then with more delineated and circumscribed research and projects. From the broad views of the first Apennine landscapes, (he Apennines, 1989 - Beyond the clouds, 1990 - Distant landscapes, 1991) heirs in particular of the American tradition, his photographic path passes to an almost minimalist research that isolates, cuts and explores details of the sometimes seemingly insignificant nature, since he no longer cares to show only the visible, but rather the invisible or, better, what escapes us for our visual superficiality (Zone d'ombra, 2003).
In 1999 he published the book In attesa dell’incanto, which presents over ten years of work on the landscape of the Reggio Emilia Apennines. In Divino naturale insomma eterno (2009), deviating from his panoramic views but always consistent with his gaze on nature, offers new cuts, unprecedented minimal explorations in the territory and in the soul, capturing the signs of divinity, the eternal and the hand man.
His work stands in suggestive countertrend, not only with respect to the pixels and new dynamics of contemporary photography. It adds to the many signs, in the most disparate disciplines and languages, which offer a subtle counter-current line, a salvific approach to the slowness of the gaze and to the methodical care of our authentic links with the world, with the value of time. From 2015 to 2017 he worked on a four-part project (Il giardino della Pietra, La Pietra e le pietre, Nell’abisso di un antico mare, Su Bismantova in cacume) to tell the story of the Pietra di Bismantova (mountain / icon that represents the center of gravity ideal of the Reggio Apennines) through a series of images outside the now classic iconography on the subject. His most recent works are aimed at Land Art, with the aim of highlighting the aspects of consonance and close relationship with nature.
In 2017 he photographed the works of Arte Sella in Trentino and in 2018 those of the park of Chaumont-sur-Loire in France. Continuing along this path, he focused on other forms of interventions in harmony with the environment; thus began the work on home art and artistic interventions in living spaces, parks and gardens.
Since 2009 he has been part of the Gruppo Rodolfo Namias which deals with the study and rediscovery of ancient photographic techniques. He has exhibited in numerous solo and group eshibitions in Italy and abroad.www.luigimenozzi.it luigimenozzifotografo@gmail.com Luigi Menozzi # 42124 Reggio Emilia (Italy)

Renata Młynarczyk
My name is Renata Młynarczyk. I was born in 1963 in Krakow. I became interested in photography many years ago. I have been dealing only with traditional photography for 7 years. During this time, I worked with various medium and large format cameras, learning about the wide possibilities of cameras, optics, various photosensitive materials and methods of their processing. All processes from the preparation of the session, pressing the shutter to getting the image on paper, I make myself. I am not interested in industriality, repeatability and the possibility of producing an infinite number of subsequent copies of photographs. I think only about the separate, individual life of a single photographic print on paper, resulting from the creative act. Noble techniques have become my favorite technique of obtaining the image, especially the gum bichromate technique. Gum bichromate is one of the first techniques that enabled faithful reproduction of reality thanks to photosensitive matter. Her pedigree dates back to France at the end of the 19th century. Unlike most traditional photographic techniques, it does not use the photosensitivity of silver or iron salts, but uses the unusual properties of chromium salts that cause organic colloids to change their properties under the influence of light. Each print is unique and constitutes a separate work. I mainly deal with portrait photography and artistic act. I treat it as an intimate meeting of another person with their space and otherness. Not hurrying, I am looking for individual aesthetic images that will satisfy the senses. I have had several individual and group exhibitions in Poland and abroad. My works are in the collections of private collectors in Paris, the United States, Sweden and Poland. I have participated in many international photographic competitions obtaining high recognition and awards. I conduct educational classes sharing extensive knowledge in the field of traditional photography, large format cameras, and noble photographic techniques .

Roberto Roberti
My photography is inspired to Japanese visual arts and the concept of wabi and sari - the acceptance of transience and imperfection. I think that every single shot is not just the reproduction of a place but is at the same time the ideal representation of it and a reflection of human emotion .
For these reason I am very attracted to work from pictorials movement , and I begun to study old photography print process.
My work with ancient photographic printing techniques is mainly dedicated to places of worship, sacred places. I have always been fascinated by sacred architecture by the charm of the ruins to their ability to place ourselves in a transcendental dimension out of time and space where I personally find peace and empathy with everything around me. In this sense as well as in landscapes, photographing for me represents a moment of introspection and peace. I chose the techniques of platinum palladium and van dyke brown print for two opposite reasons.
Platinum Palladio should be the eternal print, unalterable almost ethereal in its nobility, just as all the sacred places built by men would like to be. On the contrary, VanDyke is considered the least durable technique, the one that suffers most from the decay produced by light and oxidation. However the Vandyke if treated in the appropriate way can become durable in its fragility, just like the temples, churches and mosques that come to us burdened by the weight of the centuries, fragile but eternal at the same time.

Salvatore Abate
Salvatore Abate was born in 1961 in Turin (Italy). He lives and works near Verona.
His love for photography started in the 1980s and turned into figurative art ( painting, sculptures, mixed media and more) in the early days of digital photography.
Just a few years ago he got back to photography after a long break, during which he discovered the old photographic techniques. Using the language of the old photographic printing processes (most of all cyanotype and gum bichromate) the author plays with modern society's issues.
However, is with gum bichromate, a perfect union between painting and photography, that the artist reaches his peak of creative satisfaction and best expresses his craftsmanship. By continuously researching and constant experimentation he is able to create truly unique pieces of artwork. Salvatore Abate also carries out outreach activities in cultural associations, photographic circles on the history of photography (from the origins to the advent of printing silver salts and pictorialism He has exhibited his works in numerous personal exhibitions in Italy and abroad.www.salvatoreabate.com info@salvatoreabate.com Salvatore Abate Salvatore Abate Via Palazzine, 11 37062 Villafranca di Verona (Verona) Italy

Silvano Peroni
Photography is, for me, an expressive medium and a relief valve. Not only instant but, in parallel and self-taught, after recovering a Ferrania and a Canon, the first black and white rollers and the need to have control of the whole process. Hence the setting up of a dark room, the transition to color and to the cibacrome print.
All this led me to reinterpret the original shot and vision. I realized that I had something beautiful in my hands that would help me to express myself in a definitely captivating language. Polaroid, instant photography, creative photography have played a fundamental role to date.
The techniques that belonged to me most were the manipulation through incisions and emulsion movements in the first minutes of development and the transfer, or the transfer of the image from its original support to a sheet of noble cotton paper. Participation in national competitions and related admissions and awards helped me to grow.What I produce is a reflective, almost gestural photograph. For each shot there is a project, a desire and a construction. Nothing is left to chance, for each image created a series of steps in succession, manual elaborations, coloring interventions, more exposures and each modification must return the weight of an even more conscious and even more determined choice.
The result of a series of conceptual stratifications, intended as their own visual projects. In 2008 Polaroid closed and fortunately, a few years later, the Impossible Project was born which reinvented instant photography after about 70 years after the invention of Edwid Land.
Initially it was not as reliable. Development flaws and complete loss of image led fans of the genre to step away from the new brand. Sensing that it was a purely artistic product, I believed in the potential of the product, taking precautions and enhancing its defects.
Immediately "pioneer", always away from home, traveling in the various Photoshop of Milan and Rome, the first courses and workshops as a teacher, exhibitions in some European capitals and then, subsequently, in Italy, gave me great satisfaction. I can say that I was among the first, together with a few friends, to introduce these manipulative techniques (multi layers, incision, lift off, mosaic lift off, transparences, craquele, manipulation) which are now available to new and / or reinvented teachers who initially slipped away, disgusted.www.silvanoperoniessepiart.com polafoto.silvano@gmail.com Silvano Peroni Silvano Peroni Boxgallery Photo Instant Via Fiume, 12 - 25068 Sarezzo (BS) Italy
