About the Photographer
Simone Campedelli is an Italian photographer who tells human stories through a cinematic monochrome style defined by contrasts, textures, and fragmentary gestures. His work spans Asia, North Africa, and remote coastal and mountain regions, where he documents artisans, fishermen, weavers, and small communities caught between tradition and change.
A recurring focus in Simone Campedelli’s photography is the human hand — a universal mark of labour, memory, and identity. Many of his sequences unfold like brief films, shaped by subtle movement and visual rhythm. His current projects explore ethnographic narratives, humble work, and the quiet emotional tension embedded in everyday lives.
