Fiorenza M. J. Panke

Born in Rome, based in London, lived in San Francisco. I started traveling very soon and I never stopped. I'm fascinated by life in all its forms and I can not help but observe and capture.
I started to photograph for fun, always analog photography. Meanwhile I started studying graphic design, communication and advertising, at the The International School of Comics and at the Roma Tre University, in Rome. Obviously, the digital world of graphic design finally introduced me to digital photography.
At the same time I didn't stop work in theatre, where I've worked since I was a kid and where it's born my first love, "stage photography". The theatre is also the source of inspiration for my first project about the lives of artists behind the scenes.
After the design academy, I finally attended the Roman School of Photography, in Rome, and since then I never stopped shooting!
Over the years, I've been so lucky to meet great masters, who definitely pushed me and inspired me, even more, to the street photography and travel photography.
