For Italian Photographer Alessia Morellini, The Beauty Is In The Detail

Fascinated by small and familiar aspects of objects, people, and natural landscapes, Morellini demonstrates a penchant for the decontextualization of details, allowing them to stand out as the focus point of her images. When viewing her work, it’s as if we are in a strange, unreal place, perhaps a dream state or a warm holiday destination. Beyond her visual aesthetic, it’s difficult to place what exactly makes Morellini’s work so distinctive, yet it’s her ability to photograph with such intention and purpose that makes her contemporary images stand out. In addition, the photographer’s considered use of color, texture, and composition instils a serene feeling in the viewer, providing a moment to pause and see the world through Morellini’s perspective.
