BACKHAUS, MARIA VITTORIA

Biography

Reporter and photographer of interiors, still-life, fashion, food and nature. She studied set design at the Brera Academy in Milan. Her past and present work is the result of strict professionalism towards her committents. Her photographs exist both as a record of reality and – in apparent contradiction – as a continuous invention and recounting of stories. Her photographic shots are the opposite of improvisation: the conscious result of thought and research, the crowning moment of a mental trip. Hence the feeling which her historic images often arouse. They never seem to age: they could have been taken yesterday, or even tomorrow. Her work has been published in important fashion and design magazines and she has produced many publicity campaigns and catalogues. She lives and works in Milan but spends part of her time on the Island of Filicudi. At the moment she is also engaged in the organisation and exhibition of her personal works.
