About

Massimiliano Faralli was born and raised in Prato. He has practiced photography as a professional for many years in the wedding and architecture sector. Since 2017, attracted by new techniques, he has undertaken different photographic paths that lead him to experiment with new visions. He finds in "street photography" the ideal tool for his personal growth, a personal moment where he happily discovers himself among people. He likes to photograph in open contexts, popular events, demonstrations, where he looks for creative ideas and stories of ordinary people to tell. Empathy is the emotion that guides much of his work, it moves with the people he portrays, close to them, and enters the scene: it does not hide but interacts. He holds his own Street Photography Workshop and collaborates with Fotoclubs and Cultural Associations for photography and street photography courses. His works have received many awards, honorable mentions in Italy and abroad, have been published in national and international magazines and on various art and photography sites, exhibited in collective and personal exhibitions in many cities and at the main art festivals. photography in Europe and around the world. He has won important international competitions, among the main ones in 2022 the Overall Winner Urban at Trieste Photo Days, the Miami Street Photography Festival, the Fujifilm Moment Street Photo Awards. For him, taking photography is being attracted by the energy of the moment, letting yourself be charged by the flow of that moment until you become an integral part of it.
