About Francesca

Hello, I'm Fran!

I was born in Italy and moved to the UK after university, for what I thought would be a few months of work experience. 18 years later, I am still in London!

My fascination for photography started when I was a child and my father had a makeshift darkroom in our bathroom. Whether through journals, drawings, objects or photographs, I always loved documenting my life, and the lives of others.

People often say that I just tell it how it is (which isn't always the best trait to have!) but it is my approach to life and work, and my photography reflects this. No poses, no fancy lighting, no prompts, just life as it is. There is so much beauty in the honesty of real life, especially in our world obsessed with filtered perfection and fakery.

Photography aside, you will find me trying to keep up with my two boys and calling tradespeople to fix stuff in our leaky, draughty 120-years old Victorian home which we love very much.
