Goal
The goal of this project was to shed light on the pervasive issue of plastic pollution along coastlines, from north to south of Italy. As an assistant photographer, the aim was to collaborate with renowned photographers like Gabriele Galimberti and contribute to visually documenting the impact of pollution on our beaches.
Process
The project unfolded as a collaborative effort with Plastic Free volunteers, spanning various coastal regions of Italy. From the Veneto delta of the Po River to the shores of Abruzzo, Genova, and Campania, each location presented a unique perspective on the environmental challenges faced by our beaches. Through careful observation and documentation, we captured the stark reality of plastic waste littering these pristine shores.
My role as an assistant photographer involved not only capturing compelling images but also actively participating in beach clean-up efforts. Together with dedicated volunteers, we combed through the sands, collecting plastic debris and other pollutants in an effort to raise awareness about the urgency of addressing this environmental crisis.
Outcome
The culmination of this project was the publication of a series of powerful images in the news magazine 7 of Corriere della Sera. Among these images were striking photographs depicting the efforts of Plastic Free volunteers, including myself, in confronting the challenge of pollution head-on.
The title “IL RIFIUTO DI ARRENDERSI” aptly captured the spirit of resilience and determination displayed by these volunteers in the face of environmental degradation.
Through the lens of photography, we aimed not only to document the issue but also to inspire action and advocacy. By showcasing the beauty of our beaches juxtaposed with the harsh reality of pollution, we hoped to spark a deeper conversation about conservation and the importance of preserving our natural ecosystems.
