Me Biography

Emma Innocenti was born in Florence during the spring of 1975. She has experience as exhibiting and published artist and works as portraiture and advertising photographer in London and Italy.

Her sharp and simple vision stimulates the viewers, creating participation and awareness as well as to satisfy their aesthetic taste and curiosity.

In her personal projects, she chooses subject matters of cultural and social interest and photographs them stretching the limits of documentary photography that she combines with the her personal vision. The images thus created suggest the arising of new possible realities that exist independently from the subjects depicted.
