About me
HI THERE, I AM
Adele Audisio
When I was a child, my favorite pastime was leafing through the photos in the box where all the pictures developed from my dad's rolls of film ended up. Trips, family Christmases and Sundays with friends in the garden. My dad loved photographing simple, spontaneous moments, and with my first camera, at 8 years old, I started doing the same.
At 13, together with my family, I went to live in Brazil, and that is where I learned to photograph professionally and began turning my passion into my profession.
At the Universidade Federal da Bahia I graduated in Production in Communication and Culture and for many years I worked with several photographers and photography studios. Once back in Italy, at the University of Turin, I refined my studies by attending the first-level Master's in Digital Communication Design and worked as a Digital Marketing Specialist in a web agency.
In 2022/2023 I dedicated myself to refining my techniques and knowledge of the languages of contemporary photography by attending a Continuing Education course in Photography at IED (Istituto Europeo di Design).
Today I combine the passion and light-heartedness passed down by my dad with my studies in Communication and Marketing in my small home studio in Asti. I photograph the projects of people who love what they do as much as I do, and families who, like mine, choose to have portraits of special moments, and I keep studying the world and techniques of photography, to offer the best possible results.
Slow Photography: my manifesto
Slow photography comes from a choice.
Not the choice to do better or to do more, but to do things more slowly in a context that pushes toward speed, immediate visibility, the continuous production of images.
It is neither a technique nor a recognizable style.
It is a way of being in photography and in the world.
Slowing down is not nostalgia, but a form of awareness.
It means recognizing that time is not neutral and that the way we photograph reflects the way we live.
Slow photography claims the right to waiting, to returning, to repetition.
It accepts that not everything happens right away and that not everything has to happen.
In an era of visual overproduction, slow photography does not add urgency.
It questions the very need to produce images.
Not every experience has to become a photograph.
Not every photograph has to become visible.
The choice not to shoot, not to show, to postpone, is an integral part of the process.
The place is not a backdrop, people are not subjects to consume, the image is not a trophy.
To photograph is to enter into a relationship, accepting the time and the limits that every relationship carries.
The author steps aside: observes, listens, stays.
Slow photography does not oppose head-on, but withdraws.
It takes away speed, expectations, noise.
It promises no immediate results.
It does not seek quick approval.
It does not ask to be understood right away.
Slow photography is a practice of attention in a system that rewards distraction.
It is a daily, fragile choice.
Slowing down, here, is not a radical gesture.
It is simply a different way of being present.
Am I the right photographer for you?
Tea or Coffee? Maybe even a nice glass of wine! Come and visit me in my studio and tell me your story.
Together we will find the best way to portray it.
Not from Asti and simply prefer to send me a voice message or a couple of lines on WhatsApp? No problem!
