ME AFTER THE STORM #2 | 2021
Chiara Dondi is an Italian film photographer based in northern Italy. She has studied Industrial Design at the University of Florence.
Interested in painting since she was a little child, during the academic years she has discovered analogue photography.
All of her production tries to combine film photography with her past as a painter.
After the development every photo is carefully hand-painted with watercolours creating pictures full of introspection and symbolism.

CONVIVIO | 2019
The first theme I try to "make mine" is the double, through the use of double exposures or making two people interact in the same photo .
This allowed me to explore the duality of the feelings that live in all of us.
Another particular attention that I have is the central role of women.
The main characters of my shots are women and I try to portray them in their facets and complexity, also staging them one in front of the other.

PRIGIONI EMOTIVE #1 _2020
The final and really important characteristic of my aesthetic is the atmosphere that I have always tried to give to my photos, a kind of suspension over time and the greatest support to achieve this is the decision to paint the photos with watercolors after their development and printing.
