Giorgia Peroni

Giorgia Peroni is a Law graduate from Genoa, Italy. A practising lawyer with a passion for photography, she captures real emotions and aims to depict the world as she sees it. Inspired by a comment on her ability to capture genuine moments, she aspires to make photography her full-time career.

Hi! I'm Giorgia Peroni, I was born in Genoa, Italy, I graduated in Law and I am currently practicing as a lawyer. Nevertheless, photography is my real passion. I first approached photography in 2009 with a little Fujifilm bridge camera.

I then attended my first course in 2010 "Top Market Photo" in Genoa. After that, I continued in 2018 with an advanced course on photography techniques with a professional wedding photographer, while I carried out several wedding services.

I studied photography by attending several courses during and after my university days.

I believe my first shot was on a field trip in middle school.

I am currently using a Nikon d3100 as well as a Nikon d750.

I would like to take pictures that could communicate something deeper to people. A hidden meaning behind everyday gestures. I would also like to explore the world of photojournalism.

A comment that inspired me to where I am today was that someone once told me that I am good at capturing real people's emotions.

What inspires my unique storytelling is the desire I have to describe the world as I see it.

Uncommon frame, real, and authentic.

Thank you! I am deeply honoured to have received this award it means that someone somehow noticed my deep passion for photography giving me the chance to share it with other people from around the world.

I often thought about this photograph as one of my best shots mainly because of the message related to it: we are too many times absorbed by our busy and chaotic society that we miss the real beauty of everyday life.

It is pushing me to delve into my passion and maybe transform it into a full-time job.

Be patient and wait for the right time.

Do not listen to other people and follow your passion.

The key to success is to be a good observer.
