Camilla Richetti (b.1985) is an Italian independent documentary photographer. Currently based between Spain and Italy. She has lived abroad and traveled extensively since childhood, nurturing her curiosity and cultural awareness while shaping her character and drawing her creative vision. Her work is focused on social and environmental issues, cultural phenomena, and identities. With a solid background in international relations and languages, Camilla combines it with anthropological methods in her photography practice. Compelled to understand the motivations and perspectives of people, she aims to create awareness and foster understanding through visual storytelling. Prior to her career in photography Camilla worked in the medical field of assisted reproduction.
