Lorella Castillo’s approach to photography is grounded in an appreciation for the unobserved beauty of everyday life. Her work captures the essence of places and moments that others might overlook, inviting viewers to see the world through her unique lens. Lorella believes that true artistry lies in bringing one’s personality and vision into every image, striving to create a signature style recognizable before her name even appears.
Her process is fueled by a curiosity for the world around her, whether capturing striking skylines or local daily life. For Lorella, each photograph is a story in itself, an opportunity to communicate her perspective without uttering a word. Through her lens, she turns the ordinary into the extraordinary, allowing the viewer to experience her journey and thoughts with every shot. Lorella’s work is not just about capturing a scene; it’s about imbuing it with her own essence, creating imagery that is personal, evocative, and deeply reflective of her experiences.
Jacob Sammut’s process centers around capturing authenticity, whether through portraits or street photography. Jacob’s skill as a photographer lies in his ability to see beyond the surface, creating imagery that feels raw and honest. His work reflects a deep connection to his subjects, and his ethos lies in revealing the true essence of the moment.
Rather than relying on embellishments, Jacob’s process strips the creative process down to its core components. His photography is a lesson in visual storytelling, where each frame is carefully constructed to speak directly to the viewer. Through his candid and impactful approach, Jacob demonstrates that authenticity can often evoke the most profound emotional responses.
