8 More Photography Quotes That Inspire Me
Photography has nothing to do with cameras. Lucas Gentry Love this one from Gentry. Yes, just forget about your cameras and bits of equipment. Just
When I lived in Paris I didn’t have much money so my equipment was very basic. I remember other photographers who had great equipment. To compete with those guys, I would come with my own story idea and push it to the picture desk, with the condition that I’d be the one to shoot the photos.
Loos Prison is one of my “pushed stories”. I’d met a retired teacher who was working in the prison, where the prisoners were learning how to make webpages. I really enjoyed this part of my life in Paris.

London ,UK | 1990
In 1990, I worked on a building site near Green Park in London. Many of the men were Irish, and among the concrete gang, some spoke Gaelic as they worked. Hearing the Irish language rise above the noise of drills and steel was unexpected—an echo of home in the heart of a foreign city. These photographs capture a moment when hard labour, exile, and heritage came together in the dust and light of a changing London.
Genoa, Italy | 2025
Federica Corbelli is an Italian photographer and system engineer from Genoa. With roots in analog photography and darkroom printing from the 1990s, she combines technical precision with a poetic visual sensibility. Trained in photo and video post-production, she collaborated on architectural and reportage projects before embracing the digital shift—without losing the discipline and emotion of film. Her artistic project, Decoeuphoria, blends digital photography with painterly textures and dreamlike atmospheres, turning everyday traces into silent, immersive narratives.📸 Instagram: @decoeuphoria
