Maxi Magnano

‘Seeing Maxi Magnano’s works is like going on a trip on your own to a place you have never been before — exploration on solitude and a reflection on how we inhabit spaces, how we make them ours. On today’s interview, he shares with us how he started, what motivates him and how he found his remarkable artist voice.’

I have discovered the work of Magnano through research into nostalgic photographer online. He uses lighting and ambiance to create the nostalgic effect on his images, giving them a sense of warmth that links to the ‘good old days’ comfort nostalgia brings.

Maxi Magnano is an Argentinean photographer who took up photography at the age of 25. He began by shooting as a hobby using a digital camera, he developed a passion for it and began focusing on photography as a full-time career. Expanding his portfolio, Magnano wanted to capture feelings of melancholy and nostalgia. He typically avoids human subjects and focuses on everyday settings. This produces a sense of solitude and an ominous sense. He uses light and shadow as a key factor to attain the sense of life in the atmosphere.

Marco Kahold

I have also discovered the photographer Marco Kahold, who has recently created a book named ‘The Theory Of Intimacy’. He is a German photographer who enjoys travelling the world and capturing the ’emotional Zeitgeist’, whilst growing his ideas and discovering new aesthetics.

I was drawn to his photography because his images hold the hazy and golden look that I want to re-create in my image.
