"Carlotta Bertelli’s gaze is one of great integrity, able to zone in on the unique character of persons, moments and things, transforming the photographic medium into a spontaneous extention of the self, a wide-meshed and close contact with all that exists.
Click by click, Carlotta’s practice thus engenders far from casual, deeply touching connections of stories, faces and places, simple rituals, customs and behaviours that she can observe not only in her travels around the world, but on her home ground in the Val D’Orcia.
Sequences of direct, poetic images, unmistakably free from artifice and technicism, from posing, special effects or touch-ups.
Analogue photographs clear as mirrors that reflect back to us the enchantment of being in the world."
(Mariuccia Casadio)
BIO
Carlotta Bertelli is an Italian fine-art, portrait and documentary photographer.
Born in Modena in 1988, she moved to Milan at twenty to pursue formal studies in photography and subsequently began her professional career within the fashion industry. Her work, which has been published in both mainstream and independent outlets, reflects an international trajectory that includes periods spent in Milan, Paris, New York and São Paulo. Bertelli’s photographic practice is characterized by a sustained engagement with analog processes and darkroom printing, producing a visual language that articulates the intersection between documentary realism and poetic abstraction. In parallel to commissioned assignments for luxury and artisanal clients, she maintains a personal archive rooted in an attentive observation of human presence and the natural environment.
She currently lives and works in the Tuscan countryside.
