Re-Pete
Peter is my neighbour and his life is the same everyday. He was born in East Ham and since 1966 he has lived on A. road, the street I moved to years ago. He loves the colour blue and this is incorporated in all aspects of his life: he dresses in blue, the places where he usually goes are blue and his house is mostly blue. He retired from work in 2000 and since then he follows the same routine every week. Peter says, "I find that doing the same things and going to the same places gives me a feeling of stability in an increasingly uncertain world…when something is good, why would one wish for change?”

I am an Italian photographer and a creative visual storyteller with a conceptual and intimate approach to photography. My work concentrates on researching and documenting people’s daily lives: focusing on different aspects of what we call the everyday, continuously looking at people with different viewpoints and aiming to challenge social stereotypes and judgments. I am based in London and besides my MA in Documentary Photography and Photojournalism at the University of Westminster; I have completed an Internship with Magnum Photos. I have also been visiting as a Guest Tutor at Central Saint Martins and Westminster Kingsway College; presently I am collaborating as Educator with The Mango Lab and SEND schools. I have been featured by CNN.photos and published in Source Photographic review. I was shortlisted in the Professional Category of the 2014 Sony World Photography Awards and in the competition "30 Under 30" of Magnum Photos.
