“I wanted to portray the violent transformation of nature in the European periphery. I have experienced that the concept of wilderness, and virgin land untouched by humans, has disintegrated.” –Helene Schmitz

Guen Fiore
Photographer
Guen Fiore (b. 1988) is an award-winning photographer, specialized in creative and portrait photography. The research she pursues finds its centrality in the representation of the human figure. Not only can that be perceived in her personal projects, it also emerges from her professional works, especially in the fashion field, where her focus on the inner nature of the person is a true statement.
Every subject is not merely captured, but rather revisited and transported into a story. The resulting tale is made of subtle gestures, gazes, non-verbal elements that reach out and touch the observer’s feelings and emotions.
A vivid syncretism with filmmaking combined with story-telling, which empowers Guen’s photography with great communicative potential and visual impact.
