Stefania Miravalle

Growing up among developers, architecture has been a part of my life since the beginning. ​ A particular combination of inputs forged my stylistic approach. In fact, while studying at university, I started working as a property manager in a team with architects and interior designers, on construction and renovation projects. This experience also proved to be a unique opportunity to approach construction from the visual point of view. I therefore deepened my interest in photography by studying first at the European Institute of Design (IED) and then graduating at CFP Bauer in Milan. I have since then had the benefit of working as an assistant to several leading architectural photographers and as a junior retoucher. My background in the humanities has sharpened my sensitivity to the individual and society, as well as promoted my aesthetic sense, while my work has prompted me to reflect on how design influences living spaces and to become aware of the complexity of the processes involved, finally, long studies in photography have forged my technical and conceptual knowledge of the medium. My approach is careful and thoughtful, imbued with consideration and rigor. I seek a deep understanding of design and I am inclined to investigate materials and the use of space through an intimate introspective process. This is how my emotional and aesthetic experience of the place is visually combined with a more rational analysis of its characteristics and functions. My works have been exhibited in Milan, Turin and at the London Festival of Architecture and published on editorial projects, including Lessons of Photography curated by Oliviero Toscani.
