Raul A.

About

Raul Ariano is an award-winning Italian photographer based in Shanghai (China), specializing in portraits. He has always been captivated by the expressiveness of human faces and bodies, which can tell stories with no need for words or sounds. An observer of the margins, through his portraits, he has been telling the forgotten tales of those who are often invisible. Since 2014, he has opened a window for the world to peek into the lives of LGBTQ communities in China. Shocked by the first pandemic outbreak in the city of Wuhan, he directed his interest in outcasts into photographing the artificial and yet very real loneliness forced by the world’s first lockdown. Thanks to this project, entitled The Spring Has Yet to Come, Raul was selected to participate in the prestigious 2020 Eddie Adams Workshop, where he won the National Geographic Award. ,
