Valentina Malavenda (1986, Italy) is a Fine Art and Portrait photographer based in Italy.
In her work, she tries to bring imaginary or intangible concepts and subjects to life, often the result of our dreams and imagination that help us escape from everyday life. She has been taking photographs since 2000 and usually focuses on fine arts and portraits, but also experiments on other fronts.
Photography has become her greatest love over time. Emotions play an important role in her photography, pushing her to get creative and learn as much as possible about the art of photo editing.
