From a recent report 21% of the population in Egypt lives in multidimensional poverty, lacking access to basic necessities. Homelessness is a visible issue in urban areas, with millions (individuals and families including children) living on the streets. Thousands of areas are used for irregular dwellings, where people build makeshift shelters. This problem is exacerbated by rapid urbanization and lack of affordable housing. The government has made strides to address this crisis, but challenges remain in providing safe and secure housing for all Egyptians.
My name is Giuseppe Santangeli (1970, Italy). I am a father, an engineer and a photography enthusiast. I am not a pro, but I have been exploring photography for over twenty years. I prefer performing arts, reportage and black and white, but I always try to challenge myself in different ways.
Awards I have been recently awarded with Silver award at PX3 2024 and honorable mentions at the IPA 2024, reFocus World Photography Awards, London Photography Awards in the “special - diptychs” and “travel” categories, and the Monovisions Awards in the “photojournalism” category. In 2022 I was awarded 2nd place at the Monochrome Awards in the “photojournalism” category, and got an honorable mention at the Annual Photography Awards in the “fine art” category.
I received national recognitions and exhibited at the prize “the shape of the sacred today” in Milan Design Week, with maestro Oliviero Toscani. My work has been featured in Photo Project Pro “Shots to tell” and “Spoleto Calling” (2021), among others.
