New Delhi, Delhi 110001, India
Stefano Tomassetti the ''photodreamer'' is an Italian from Rome, born in 1978. Since childhood, I have always had a photographic mind which really leant me to this discipline. By the end of the nineties I had gained significant experience using a Pentax 500 analog, but this was not what really triggered my obsession.In July 2014, I exhibited at "Wonderwalls" in The Steam Factory of Milan (Italy). The exhibition explores the concept solidarity through "A Walk in Indochina", an exhibition of 30 photos that show the walks I did in the various places that I visited.
In November 2014, i have been shortlisted as a finalist in the Travel Photographer of the Year 2014.
In April 2015, I exhibited at European Festival of Photography in Reggio Emilia (Italy). The exhibition was a reportage from the Saharwi refugees capms in Algeria. I handed 15 cameras on to as many children and the exhibition tells the story of the refugee camps seen by their eyes.
In September 2015, I quit my job and left from Italy to follow my passion for travel and photography. I have already visited Russia, Mongolia, China, Laos, Cambodia, Sri Lanka. Now (Jennuary 2016) I’m gonna travel trought India for 6 month…tomorrow will be another day!
The photographer is a curious animal, a keen observer of the world around him taking pictures even when the subject is holding a camera in his own hand.
