I am a photographer, film maker and a great lover of slow travels.
For more than 15 years I have been dealing with various types of photographic services, for events, ceremonies, music, art and nature.
One of my greatest passions is to create bonds with people, using photography as a channel for mutual knowledge and sharing.
I enthusiastically collect life stories of dreamers, families and explorers, and all the treasure they hold in their experiences.
I am very passionate of mountain biking and surfing; I love to relax by playing drums and didgeridoo or sipping a good wine in front of the fireplace.
I am the father of two little brothers, and they are certainly the greatest passion of my life.
Bio
Matteo Perini, born in Casentino Forlivese, in Santa Sofia, currently living in Bologna.
Photographer and video-maker, I have been collaborating for over 15 years with the National Park of the Casentinesi Forests, producing photographs and videos related to scientific research and promotion activities.
I founded Studio TamTam in 2008, working in the photo and video sector for sports and events.
Since 2012, I have focused on music and performing arts photography, collaborating with the Sottopalco agency and conducting music photography workshops.
In 2013, in Sarajevo, I collaborated on the filming of the documentary ‘Dopo l’Assedio’ by Massimo Sciacca and attended social reportage workshops with photographers Giulio Di Meo, Enrico Genovesi, and Alessandro Gandolfi.
My growing interest in social reportage led me to collaborate with associations and publish works in various magazines, including Witness Journal, Nigrizia, Misna, il Reportage, Opzij Magazine, and Meer.
In 2014, I produced the reportage ‘Celestial Voodoo’, which was exhibited at the Bibbiena Fotoconfronti Festival, Savignano Si-Fest, and Terra di Tutti in Bologna. The reportage received an award at the Humanity Photo Awards, by CFPA/UNESCO.
Through the project “Maison des rêves – La casa dei sogni,” I funded the family home “Maison de la Joie” Odv in Ouidah, Benin. I was a member of the association “Sovraesposti” in Forlì and co-directed the documentary ‘E dashurojnë me zemer – Because they love it with all their hearts,’ filmed in Kosovo and Albania.
In 2015, I directed the documentary ‘Mystique Ouidah,’ filmed in Benin together with reporter Simone Stefanelli. In 2016, I created a report for the APOF – Pathologists Beyond Borders project, focusing on cervical cancer research and prevention in Owerri, Nigeria.
In 2017, I produced the reportage ‘The Last Percebe,’ depicting the dangerous lives of the last gatherers of a rare shellfish amidst the worsening ecological and environmental crisis in Galicia, Spain.
