Little Bird welcomes Mimi Mollica
We had the pleasure of welcoming award-winning photographer and editor, Mimi Mollica into the studio for a Little Bird talk on identity, artistry and his creative journey.
He spoke candidly about his experiences growing up in Sicily that inspired his photo essays dealing with social issues and topics related to identity, the environment, migration, and macroscopic human transitions.
He took us on a journey through his works, explaining what drew him to the subject matters and his motivations for founding Photo Meet – an organisation he set up to help young photographers progress in the industry.
We asked the Manasian&Co team their main takeaways from the talk….
“An image captures a place and a moment, space and time”
“The power of a photograph – one image shot at a 25th of a second, captured for an eternity”
“Never confine yourself to an artistic style as who knows what else you could excel at”
“Documentary photography can be equally as powerful as storytelling”
“Not to shy away from the tough, painful subjects like addition and loss as they can be the most human and impactful”
“Your heritage can be an artistic tool to harness”
