Sara Bianchi | The Nenets | Born in Italy in 1973, I have always been passionate about travel and photography. I love discovering new places and, above all, knowing the ways of life of people a bit far from my lifestyles. Every time I go to a place, I try to interact as much as possible with the subjects portrayed in order to obtain photos that  tell the story of the people who shared with me a few moments of their lives. During the years, I have held many personal and group’s photo exhibitions. Several of my photos won prizes and received placements in national and international photo contests. My next challenge is to turn my passion in a job.
