in una dimensione femminile moderna e millenaria allo stesso tempo; assistiamo ad un rito silenzioso che si svolge dietro l’immagine.
bellissimo

Quello che colpisce in queste foto è la naturalezza e la profondità spirituale delle persone che occupano lo spazio dello scatto.
Le suggestioni delle luci, l’alternarsi del chiaro e dello scuro e, le intense espressioni dei protagonisti mi ricordano (essendo chi scrive un grafico- illustratore)
in alcune foto i quadri ricchi di pathos del Caravaggio (vedi foto libro 18,19,20,21,22 , 40 e 48) e in altre la spontaneità giornaliera di adulti e ragazzi,ritratti dal pittore illustratore statunitense Norman Rockwell (vedi foto libro 20,30,44,50,55.61).
Complimenti

“Ad ogni tuo scatto sembra che si aprano mille diversi diaframmi a scrutare con naturalita’ santa spazi, luci e storie dell’anima. Fortunatamente per noi, vengono poi impressi sopra una materia che sembra essere stata predisposta da Rembrandt.”

Sometimes, life is like that.

I just logged in, took some time to write a brilliant and incisive comment, clicked “submit” and then instead of it posting I got a page telling me I must be logged in to post. So I logged back in and am doing this as a test to see if it happens again. As for my comment, the original effort sapped me of all my energy. I can’t make it again. At least not today. Probably not ever. Okay, I am about to click “submit” again. Let’s see what happens…

In my images, head coverings, long-sleeved dresses, modest skirts, and shoes ceased to be barriers to unwanted eyes, but instead became vessels, unveiling a deep, emotional access in the search for meaning as a woman.”

Oh, come on. These women’s lives are conscripted by a paternalistic religion that slots them into a narrow existence. There is no “search for meaning as a woman.” Who they are, what they are, and how they respond to the world around them is tightly controlled by their orthodoxy.

The photos are good. But labeling one thing as another doesn’t alter reality for these women.

First of all congratulations for being published with Burn. What a great honor, you’ve accomplished one of my greatest dreams. Photobooks mean so much to me, it’s one of my ways of evading and soothing the mind.
I can see good images throughout the essay but alas, at this moment in my life I exist on a different photographic wavelength. I can sense this work is subtle, like a song whispered close to ones ear and this is what’s stops me from fully enjoying it. My wavelength is power, a shout and a uppercut straight to the jaw. However I’m going to make an effort and slow down and go through this essay daily, I suspect I can learn a lot from your way of photographing the world…

1. Federica- combines strong individualism and independency, with deep bond to her own heritage. Adding her passion, assertiveness and sensitive character, and you have promise components for an artist.

2. The project- the field of traditional women in a modern world has highly documented already. yet, the combination of spirituality with aesthetics is unique, along with the ability to touch their own stories from almost personal point and partnership.

3. The exhibition and the book- as mentioned above, made professionally, with the right touch and elegancy, and of course, telling a whole story with a sequence of great images

looking forward to your next work

che dire..ho amato il tuo lavoro fin dall’inizio. vedevo e vedo in alcuni scatti qualcosa di grande, quel qualcosa che, senza sapere esattamente il perchè, fa dire “wow” e guardare in silenzio senza sapere cosa dire. credo che qualcosa sia grande quando ti ammutolisce. di seguito arrivano poi tutti i pensieri, il perchè, la storia, cose fondamentali per sostenere e mantenere la bellezza. ma è sempre lei che porta il mio sguardo in accordo col cuore e la mente. e le tue foto riescono a farlo in me. Saul Leiter diceva “Cerco di rispettare determinare nozioni di bellezza anche se per qualcuno si tratta di concetti vecchio stile. Certi fotografi pensano che fotografando la miseria umana puntano i riflettori su problemi seri. io non penso che la miseria sia più profonda della felicitià” e credo sia proprio così.
quello trattato nel tuo lavoro è un tema profondo. e il rispetto e l’eleganza con il quale lo accarezzi in modo costante per tutta la sua durata, è evidente e ammirevole.
vedere ora la mostra realizzata e soprattutto il libro mi rende davvero felice. felice di averti incontrato sulla strada.

I followed her personal work from the very beginning and I could really see how emotionally involved she was in this project. Take a look to her beautiful pictures and follow her!

It’s accurate in every detail with quality and “feeling”. Print, paper choice, editing and design are well developed around the original work of the author

done.
The way Federica Valabrega looks at the
Orthodox Jewish world is intense ,very deep
but ,at the same time , simple and clear.
It is an eye in a world that seem normal in its
particularity.
