MICHELE MATTEI
FINE ART AND PORTRAITURE
Journalist, photojournalist, filmmaker, portrait and fine art photographer.
It is always a challenge to bridge the gap between who we are, who we want to be and how we want others to see us. Portraiture lives at the intersection of this conundrum. On both sides of the camera, there exists a demand for understanding, truth and respect. The creative moment prevails between representation and interpretation.
My fine art photographic series inform my search for finding visual representations of our states of being. I work in the space where creativity, spirituality and technology seem to coalesce.
My work has been exhibited worldwide and my photographs are in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Newseum, in Washington, D.C., in the archives of the Museum of Modern Art, in New York, as well as in many private collections.
