Pietro Milici

I am from Palermo, a city in the south of Italy. Thanks to my parents I was able to travel when I was a teenager, experience different cultures, and have completely different experiences. Those small contrasts between my city and others, made me understand that that was not where I wanted to live my entire life, so I started traveling alone at the age of 16; Europe, South America, etc, until now, that I am stable in the US. I shot my first photo when I was six years old (1990). A photograph of my father and my mother hugging each other. We were in Rome. I still have that photo with me, it is a reminder of how everything has a meaning and happens for a reason. I care deeply about photography, it is how I express myself and my point of view to the outside world. I am inherently interested in this discipline as a way of conceiving the city, the architecture, the people, their emotions, and their stories. I search for the unexpected, the untold, the overlooked, and reveal any hidden facets that the subject – be it a person or a city street – might withhold. My work is mainly based on architecture/interior, and portraits. I love how architecture can be a portrait of the society and the world we live in, and how a portrait of a person is...
