Nuccia Cammara met the \"magical eye\" when she was just 12 years old. Since then she has spent most of her formative years as a photographer learning aspects of portraiture, processing, printing and retouching while gaining experience working with different photographers in varied situations.
In particular, she has done research on sociological themes focused on gender differences and is co-author of several publications including: \"Ritratti in chiaroscuro. Costrutti psicologici delle differenze di genere\" Franco Angeli Edizioni (Portraits in chiaroscuro. Psychological constructs of gender differences).
Nuccia is an instinctive photographer. Passion and viscerality are the constant driving forces behind her photography. The moment of the shot is pure emotion to be lived with bathed breath, she makes it her own by identifying, merging with the stilled fragment of life, returning it to us and revealing something of herself in the captured image.
\"In the journey, photography uncovers and hones my inner vision which changes as I change; it evolves as I evolve both as photographer and as human being. I try to not forget, the power which an image has, to evoke emotions, bring changes, inspire us to live our life differently. This is what keeps me honest with myself. Finding and trying to express my inner vision to the outer world is \"The Journey\".
Giovanna Bua, president of \"Imago Association\" (Palermo) says of her: \"Nuccia Cammara looks with velvety eyes but even more, she listens to the person she will photograph. Her intimate research produce photographs of strong emotional impact. Her shots are individually telling a story, revealing personal or social situations, moving the viewer and providing a starting point for a debate\".
Nuccia Cammara lives is based in in Palermo, where she continues to create her passionate, cutting edge images. Some of her photographs are part of the heritage of the Photo Library \"The Crane \" in Valverde, Catania (Sicily).
As a member of the \"Italian Federation Photographic Associations (FIAF) and the Imago Association (Palermo, Sicily) in 2010, she led the research Group \"Subjective Photographic Vision\", a training course on the language of photography and subjective vision. She has had several photography exhibitions.
Among them: \"Quelli del Mare\" (Those of the Sea), at Villa Niscemi in Palermo in 2006, \"Donna nell\'arte 2009\" (Woman in the Art 2009), at the Galleria Civica Sciortino\" in Monreale.
In 2010, with the work \"Ines\", she is selected as first prize winner of the \"10th Portfolio Together\" at the \"16 ° Etna Photo Meeting\" and as second prize winner, ex aequo, of the \"Horizon Portfolio 2010\".
