Many thanks to Fondazione Pitti Discovery and Sara Pizzi for the beautiful interview and for featuring my work 

"To be constantly listening. Ready to seize those unexpected “gifts”, those unexpected moments that change your life. There's no photography, no art form, no labels that we can attach to ourselves that can define our work. What exists – and endures, in the fast-forward world of today - is simply the desire, the passion and the instinct to talk about life. Fragments, instants of other existences that, by some inexplicable effect, hold small particles of ourselves within them.
Monia Merlo knows this well. With her background as an architect, she has turned her life upside down to follow a passion – an innate talent – turning it into a real profession. Her photographs are ethereal, dreamy, imbued with an almost oneiric light and a whispered yet very powerful femininity. This is what Monia told us about her work."

​“PORTRAIT WITH PEONY” has been published on Vogue Italia’s book  CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THE WORLD
-in collaboration with Huawei- released during the Photovogue Festival.

"Vogue Italia has elevated the bond between excellent fashion and photography to an art status and the awareness of what constitutes Vogue Italia’s DNA has naturally led to the decision to set up the first international festival entirely dedicated to fashion photography, which is bound to an influential fashion publication."
