About me

I am Federico Ranghino, a photographer and visual storyteller dedicated to exploring the relationship between humans and landscapes, focusing on the transformations of the land and the traces left by time. My work stems from a desire to narrate the profound connection between cultural identity and the places we inhabit, with particular attention to my homeland, Piedmont.

Through photography, I aim to document and interpret the landscape, delving into its complexity and the changes it undergoes. Every shot is a dialogue between the present and the past, an attempt to understand how human activity has shaped the environment, leaving visible and invisible marks. I am drawn to capturing the unique atmospheres of these lands: the geometries of the rice fields, the lines of hydraulic works, and the silent strength of abandoned or forgotten places.

I love immersing myself in the territories I photograph, observing, listening, and letting their essence guide me. I dedicate significant time to research because I believe that behind every image there must be a story, a narrative that brings it to life. My goal is not merely aesthetic: I strive to create images that tell stories, spark questions and reflections, and invite people to look beyond the surface.

For me, photography is a tool of awareness, a means of giving a voice to what often goes unnoticed. I am interested in capturing the beauty and fragility of the landscape, as well as the resilience and ingenuity of humanity. My work is an act of memory and an invitation to care for the places we live in because they hold both our history and our future.
