About Teresa Carnuccio
I am a fine art photographer based in Naples, Italy. In my images I completely eliminate context (time, space and the subject's identity) so that the viewer can connect more deeply with the message or emotion I aim to convey. Keeping the narrative elements minimal also helps me get to the core of the condition I am investigating: looking at my own wounds from the outside I can consider vulnerability and struggle as a shared, universal state. Photography has been and still is a form of therapy to me.
