Laura Malaterra

August 15, 2025 Artists
Fine Art photographer, graduated in architecture, she undertook a theatrical career as an actress and director and this influenced her approach to photography. Years of study and enthusiasm, she is curious about everything, she observes reality by investigating the light – the natural one that always enchants her – on the little things that transcend their appearance and acquire a poetic diversity, sublimating the present. His pursuit of brightness and darkness, contrasts and harmonies becomes one with the lens, an attentive and inquiring gaze that reflects his perennial search for unrepeatable moments but which are part of a daily life that sees spaces, shapes and lines transfigured in dream visions. Fragments of life and photographic adrenaline in all of her projects which reveal the lyricism of her images such as her project, always in progress, “The lights of a time that flees” illuminated by contrasts of Caravaggio-esque flashes. She has written plays, published six books and writes about photography on her blog “L’ Auraphotografica”, on Artwort, an independent art blog, and on cultural magazine Globus.
 
 

Project Statement

Always interested in writing and the visual arts due to her architectural training, she approached theater as an actress and director and began to love photography, capturing actors’ rehearsals. Her photography reflects these passions, resulting in her “Minimi Sets,” where everyday objects themselves become actors and reflect Laura’s visions. Like the project “The lights of a fleeting time” where the light, the flowers, and the objects in my home are intense journeys between rooms, chasing the light through moving flowers, leaves, and branches that change colors and always fascinate me. Many of her projects in recent years have been awarded in major international competitions, including the Monovisions Photography Awards, Monochrome Photography Awards, Tokyo International Foto Awards, ND Awards, Chromatic Awards, IPA Int’l Photography Awards, BIFA, Trieste Photo Days, and APA Annual Photography Awards. She has published her work in international magazines, including Vogue, Exibart, Tagree Magazine, Frames Magazine, Photographic Mercadillo, and The Heroine Journey.
