Margherita Crocco is a young artist photographer living and working in Paris and New York. She spent her childhood between Switzerland and Italy, her mother?s country. She went to Paris where she started to study anthropology and obtained a Master of Anthropology focused on the women?s status through the collective imaginary.

She studied photography at the International Center of Photography in New York City, where she learnt from Robert Blake, Frank Franka, Chuck Kelton.
Taking pictures has become part of her life. It is the need to visually register parts of her life, the time of being, the time of life - her experience and the people around her. She uses photography to document what is around and inside her.

She seeks to give a sense of space and time by letting the viewer see through the photographs and experience the same emotions. The moments in her photography contain feeling and drama; sometimes candid, sometimes posed, full of realism or fantasy, based on her mood or an individual situation. Through photography, she tells stories, creates awareness and evokes emotions.
