Photography, a 19th century scientific invention, has altered perception and experience of life. Since the beginning photography was a new way of looking to reality, though the freezing of a visually observable scene.

At first photographers celebrated the banality of life, so they urge to create a style, something able to make photography more than a simple shot.
Soon photography became a new visual art, with an own language, autonomy and aesthetic.
