Portfolio Review Spotlight: Chiara Luxardo

Portfolio Reviews are a wonderful way for me to meet young photographers and discover their world. I was recently a portfolio reviewer at the Angkor Photo Festival. There were a few young photographers whose eyes and sensibilities I liked very much. One such is Italian photographer Chiara Luxardo who has recently relocated to Myanmar.

During the review, I was shown her work-in-progress project on her family history inspired by vintage photographs by her aunt, a capable photographer in her own right, and set in an aristocratic Italian country town. It was foreign, fascinating and alluring a world. Chiara has a gift with portraiture. While Chiara continues to work on her personal project, here is a glimpse of her diary in Myanmar.
