Benedetta Stefani

Benedetta Stefani is an Italian photographer working across editorial and commissioned photography, with a particular feel for food, fashion and the textures of Italian creative culture. Alongside commercial work, her personal projects reveal a quieter side to her practice, where she explores the relationship between aesthetics and identity, with a particular focus on food as a medium for dialogue. Her work stems from a careful observation of everyday life, framing with the use of natural light, understood both as a tangible photographic element and as a metaphor for authenticity.
