"My work stems from a careful eye on reality and a profound respect for what happens over time. I photograph to preserve memory, culture, and identity, without intervening or forcing the course of events. For me, each project is a shared process, guided by a gentle, present, and never invasive approach, which accompanies those in front of me with care and continuity. A gentle quest for permanence: I explore the surface of things, trying to glimpse what moves beneath, creating images that endure because they are rooted in lived experience and contaminated by the marvelous complexity of human nature."

ABOUT
AND MORE
press
Alessia Angelotti is a photographer who studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. She discovered photography during her university studies, and began working as a photographer in 2015. Her passion for art, her deep love of culture, and the art of storytelling through images have led her to develop a profoundly honest and human photographic style, prioritizing intimacy and empathy with her subjects. Her choice to work on weddings has allowed her to explore themes dear to her, such as collective memory, family across generations, and ritual.
In her work, photography presents itself as a form of visual listening, in which each image arises from an attentive presence and a sensitivity that inhabits the emotional space of the event. Her photographs are testimonies that clearly reveal the emotional dynamics among the people present: the depth of glances, the natural arrangement of bodies, the subtle web of relationships unfolding between gesture and atmosphere.
Her calm and positive energy makes possible a photography that is spontaneous yet profoundly meaningful, capable of capturing even what moves beneath the surface of things.
In this way, Angelotti’s gaze transforms visual documentation into an authentic narrative, where the event manifests in its most intimate truth.
KIND WORDS
"She made us feel right at home as she showed us the most beautiful spots in Florence for our engagement photo shoot. She was extremely responsive as we were trying to squeeze in this session while on vacation, and was very flexible and willing to meet us wherever we needed.
Alessia knew the best spots in the city and captured beautiful natural moments between my fiance and I. The final photos delivered were incredible and turned out to exceed our expectations."
