Tamara Quadrelli

Bio

Tamara is an Italian photographer working with the ordinary architecture of the Italian landscape façades, shadows, corners, the geometry of things we pass without stopping. Her practice, rooted in flânerie, is one of patience and subtraction: she waits for the light that briefly transforms the familiar into something else. Pastel tones, quiet compositions, worn plaster. The built world as it actually is, and somehow more than that. Her work has been recognized by IMACRES Awards, Chromatic Photography Awards, Minimalist Photography Awards and Re-Focus Awards.

I photograph shadows as much as I photograph walls.

I am drawn to the moment just before order is restored when a broom leans against a wall and no one is there yet.
