Telling stories through light, movement, and sound.
A visual reportage of the music scene.
From the stage
Bio
I’m Emanuela, a professional photographer since 2012, currently based in Italy. I trained in Visual Arts at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, even though my real education—like for many—happened on the ground.
What began as a thesis project in Uganda turned into a six-year journey documenting community life and developing reportage projects across the country. That experience—being deep into real stories, in real places—completely reshaped my DNA and style as a photographer.
When I later joined a local promoter of international events as lead photographer, I brought that same documentary instinct to international music stages. Whether it’s a dusty street or the biggest arenas in the Afrobeat scene, my approach doesn’t change: I’m there to document, not to decorate.
14 years in, the goal is still the same: tell the story as it happens.
