Umberto Verdoliva25Street Photography, Analog Shooting & B&W

Umberto Verdoliva discusses his approach to Italian street photography through the lens of analog shooting and black-and-white imagery. Rather than chasing spectacle, Verdoliva is interested in everyday moments shaped by light, body language, and timing. Film, for him, is not a nostalgic choice but a discipline slowing process and sharpening attention.

The conversation explores the role of intuition in the street, the importance of editing with restraint, and why black and white remains central to his visual language. Verdoliva also reflects on photographing familiar environments, where repetition becomes a space for deeper observation rather than limitation.
