My name is Carlotta and I am an Italo-American photographer based in Florence.
I started playing with my dad’s Pentax when I was 8, and from there my love for photography never stopped growing. 
I was constantly annoying my friends and neighbors with endless portrait sessions, running around documenting the world as if there was no tomorrow, carefully dedicating my time to personal projects and photography books…

One day I decided to try and make photography my profession, and I was lucky enough to find amazing mentors and teachers along the way, namely George Woodman (father of Francesca) and my good friend Emiliano Cribari.

Though I work mainly in the wedding photography field, I also document events, conferences and cultural festivals in Florence (Festival delle Religioni); I collaborated with local realities promoting cultural activities in my city (Associazione Mus.E, The Florentine, Gruppo Editoriale); I had the pleasure of exhibiting my work for the project “KamerArt.Lab_Frontier Chronichles” in Florence with the patronage of the city of Florence and Quartiere 2, and I tackle many different kinds of photographic works (interiors, corporate, portraits, events, fashion).

I’ve been photographing weddings, families and events in general for over 10 years, trying my best to provide timeless, authentic and emotional photographic memories, but I’m not a traditional wedding photographer. Through my lens I search for the perfect everyday imperfections, mess and emotions, rather than picture-perfect moments. For each story I tell, I like to become involved and truly connect with the people I meet, so I often end up becoming friends with my clients along the way.
To me, photography is a way of experiencing the world and sharing what makes us all the same, what makes us human.
