Bio
Catia Mencacci approached to the photography world in 2012, as an adult. The inscription on her first photo course happened almost as a game. Without any knowledge in photographic material and having never felt the need to take pictures before then, participates in early teachings without even a camera. Her interest became a real passion very early. She was mostly interested to an impressionistic, oniric world in which the image brings the soul of the observer in a magical world: a world made of emotions and feelings such as enchantment, melancholy and dreamy.
