Sarah Pisani

From Mqabba, Sarah’s interests are in visual arts, mainly photography and is work on developing her personal style. She recently took part in workshops led by artist Vince Briffa, relating to the Venice Biennale. 

“I was about 10 years old my parents gave me my 1st camera, a Hello Kitty disposable camera and I still remember the thrill of shooting it while on holiday! Photography is something I do every day, whether with my phone, digital or film cameras and although each offers a different experience, I find all to be very enjoyable and I am excited about this on-going journey. Nature is also a common subject in my photographs since it creates a peaceful atmosphere.

The photo I decided to submit is usually associated with mobile phones, yet I wanted to experiment with a vintage film camera. The sense of anonymity suggests that one should not judge the person in the picture without knowing her personally.”
