Biography
Angela was born in Policoro, Italy, in 1982.
She discovered photography about twelve years later, taking black&white photographs with a friend who inherited an old reflex camera from her aunt. They used to bring their favourite clothes and accessories in her garage, choosing the style, get dressed and pose one for the other.
In 2005 she graduated in Architecture (Tecniche dell'Architettura e delle Costruzioni) at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" and started a Master in Photography at the Advanced Institute of Photography of Rome (ISFCI). In 2006 her photographs were selected at the International Photography Award "Journey in Basilicata" and exhibited in Italy and abroad in different venues.
In May 2007 she had her Solo Exhibition untitled “Essereapparire” (Tobetoappear), curated by Salvatore Sanna, at Makenoise Gallery, Rome. The same year she was selected to participate at the Masterclass with Magnum Photographer Antoine D'Agata (Photoespana 2007). In October her work "Essereapparire" was selected by Contrasto curator for the recognition prize at "Fotoleggendo2007". After the Internship at Rankin Photography and working experience with different photographers such as Josh Olins, she started her career as Photographer herself. She worked for live art and theatrical companies and talented fashion designers Karen Karam and Siasfantini. Her work has been recently exhibited at Al Riwak Gallery (Manama, Bahrein) and in collective exhibition "Dimensione Massima 10x14cm", during the international photography festival "Fotografiafestival2009", Rome.
