ROBERTA TRENTIN
Italian as well, she studied Agriculture Sciences and Technology in Florence where she lived for 9 years. Her background gave her a deep sense of observation and curiosity for everything around her. Once she tried to do photography with a shoe box she couldn’t stop herself. She worked in a photo store in Florence for almost two years, she collaborated for Altarosa, an Italian Organic Clothes fashion firm. She collaborated with a Japanese Sculptor. Once she arrived in New York she understood the magic that flows in this city and she understood that the best place for her is behind her cameras. She considers herself a generalist, “since the light doesn’t make exceptions”, but what she loves most are people and nature. She is the official photographer for Lootok, Ltd, a Risk Management company based in NYC. She has recently started to do photography as freelancer for weddings, private and public events and families. She lives in New York, where she tries to improve her skills in photography and her love for the arts and artists. She is attending a four-week filmmaking workshop at The New York Film Academy.
