DIANA BAGNOLI
È una fotogiornalista torinese che ha studiato fotografia a Barcellona, dove ha iniziato a dedicarsi al ritratto e al reportage, spinta dal suo interesse per le tematiche sociali e ambientali. Nel 2009 è stata nominata fotografa dell'anno ai FIOF Photography Awards. Da allora lavora come storyteller, dando voce a contesti emarginati e a storie di vita rilevanti.
Tra il 2015 e il 2019 ha esplorato il mondo del misticismo, documentando le culture indigene di cinque Paesi e diverse credenze. Nel 2020 ha ricevuto il fondo di emergenza COVID-19 dalla National Geographic Society per coprire la brigata medica cubana in Italia e successivamente a Cuba. Questo lavoro è culminato nel libro “Juntos” ed è presente in “Inside the Curve, Stories from the Pandemic”, pubblicato dalla National Geographic Society. Nel corso della sua carriera, Diana ha indagato in modo approfondito e ampio sulle relazioni personali.
Nel corso degli anni, il suo lavoro è stato pubblicato in varie riviste come The Guardian, The Washington Post, GEO Magazine, National Geographic e Elle. Ha inoltre collaborato con diverse ONG, tra cui Amref Health Africa e NPH ad Haiti. Le sue fotografie sono state esposte in diversi Paesi, tra cui la Francia in occasione di Visa Pour L'Image 2020, a Nuova Delhi durante l'Indian Photo Festival e a Lodi per il Festival della Fotografia Etica nel 2019.
