La Spezia 1990.
Domenico Camarda studied communications at the University of Bologna and photography and visual design at Milan’s NABA – New Academy of Arts.
In autumn 2014, he moved to Lisbon where he began to work for the publisher Pierre Von Kleist Editions and the Pedro Alfacinha gallery. This experience gave him the chance to develop his interest in author photography and art publishing.
In 2015 he moved to London to work for the photographer Amelia Troubridge as her assistant, editing and designing the layouts for her most recent publications.
He currently lives between Milan and La Spezia where he works in a freelance capacity.
Camarda’s artistic practice explores themes such as the construction of individual identity, reflecting on what it means to be contemporary in today’s world. Creating a series of evocative and dream-like images, Camarda seeks to raise questions and provoke contemplation rather than give simple responses.
His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and he was chosen in 2019 by CAMERA – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia for the second round of the Futures – European Photography Platform project.
