Marco Ragana, born in Padua and now residing in Venice, initially did not envision a career in art. His journey into photography began not from a decision but from a fascination with observing life around him, particularly people. This fascination translated into visual storytelling when he purchased his first Polaroid camera. For Ragana, his camera is more than a tool; it is his pen and paintbrush, enabling him to capture and narrate the complexity of human existence in singular moments. His approach to photography is both intuitive and profound, reflecting a deep engagement with his subjects and their surroundings.
Through his unique process, Ragana establishes intimate rituals with his subjects, creating spaces for improvisation and expression. This collaborative environment allows emotions and unspoken words to surface and be captured in his photographs. Each session with his subjects is an exploration of personal stories, where silence can be as telling as an outpour of words. The outcomes are powerful visual narratives that resonate with authenticity and emotional depth, compelling viewers to engage with the images on a personal level.
