Acclaimed Italian Street photographer, Lucia Domenici, is launching a new free exhibition Tell the street you saw me at the J/M Gallery on London’s Portobello Road between 10th-15th May 2022.
Following the success of her first solo exhibition, the new breath-taking prints capture unique and unguarded moments from two of the most iconic cities in the world, London, and New York.
With her trademark style of championing street photography as a pure form of visual art, the images will showcase unmediated, unrehearsed, and beautiful spontaneous moments.
Tell the street you saw me is an immersive experience of 29 photographs and will transport visitors to witness intimate freeze-frames of countless individual stories, played out in front of Lucia’s lens and captured expertly. Ten percent of all sales will be donated to the Mail Force Ukraine Appeal, helping refugees settle into their new lives in the UK.
Lucia Domenici says, “For me, street photography is like jazz, there’s always a common theme. But it’s the unexpected and the improvisation that makes it real magic. By using my art to help refugees in this way is so important at a time when so many will be arriving in the UK and experiencing life on our streets for the first time.”
Working in black and white for its purist, honest aesthetic – quoting renowned photographer Ted Grant: “When you photograph people in colour, you photograph their clothes. When you photograph in black and white, you photograph their soul.”
