Davide Degano
Photographer / Videographer

I was born in Italy with Colombian background (my grandmother). As I graduated from high school, I moved to Australia for 3 years, while traveling around East Asia. During my travels, I had developed a strong interest in photography and soon enough I fell in love with the medium.

In Australia, I moved my first steps as a commercial photographer working for “JustAustralia“ and the Italian magazine Il Globo, but my interest and passion toward photography are due to my fascination with the narrative possibilities that the medium offers.

I believe that visual narratives have a strong power that many times is impossible to convey in written text. For this reason, I focused more and more on the medium of photography during my studies and started to investigate the storytelling possibilities offered by the visual medium itself.

This eventually led me to the Royal Academy of Art, KABK, where I have got the opportunity to learn and experiment with a huge variety of approaches to documentary photography.

I am currently living in The Hague, where I have just graduated from the Royal Academy of Art, receiving an honorable mention for the Paul Schuitema Award 2020.

I have exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Trieste, Udine, London, Novi Sad (Serbia), The Hague, and my work was featured in platforms such as ARTDOC, Vogue Italia, and The Photographic Journal.

    Within a Budding Grove takes its title from the second volume of Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, which follows the protagonist’s adolescence and his increasing sense of self-awareness. As a teenager, Jyll Bradley spent a lot of time sitting in her family’s greenhouse in rural Kent observing the play between sunlight and glass, a visual language that has remained integral to her work since the 1980s.
