Distance
Two trees, united in the same winter breath. One, the larger, seems to protect, the other, the smaller, seems to learn to resist. There is no separation between them, but balance: strength and fragility coexist and listen to each other.

About Artist
Cristina Capellino
My journey in photography started almost as a game, capturing landscapes, shapes, and geometries with an old cell phone. At first, the results were a disaster, but the spark had already been struck. Feeling the need to go further, I first moved to a compact camera and then, thanks to a friend, I discovered the world of Reflex as a self-taught photographer. That initial passion took shape and substance, leading me to set up my first photography exhibition in 2016.Since 2017, I have chosen to deepen my training by participating in a few workshops and one-on-one sessions dedicated to portraiture. My goal was not only to master the technique, but to dig deep into the emotional aspect of the shot. For the rest, I have continued and still continue to experiment on my own, guided by instinct and curiosity. Although I have experimented with continuous light and flash, my true guide remains natural light. That is what I consider magical, especially in portraits: it allows me to freeze an authentic moment, capturing gestures, expressions, and the emotion in its entirety.I love everything that is color, shape, and movement, but I nurture a deep love for landscapes and black and white, where the interplay of light and shadows reveals the very essence of things. I know I still have a long way to go and new skills to learn, such as post-production, but I like to move calmly, one step at a time.I take photos because photography allows me to tell the story of life, feelings, fear, desire, the heart, values, and reality. In short, I photograph to express everything that words alone can hardly convey.
