About

Lorenzo Marotti was born in Rome, Italy in 1992. He is trained as a chemist and he works with analog photography, focusing on alternative/experimental photography and exploring old photographic techniques – eventually adopting cyanotype as one of his main media of expression. The technique of cyanotype offers him the chance of combining photography with chemistry, whilst investigating fundamental questions related to existence and perception.
