Viola Berlanda has published photo reports in international magazines such as Elle, Internazionale, Le Monde 2, Marie Claire, El Mundo, La Repubblica… Her reports explore complex political and social contexts. Samples of her work can be found on this site: the daily life of victims of an industrial disaster in Bhopal, the lives of the descendants of a 19th century French Aristocrat in Cape Verde, the adventures of Brazilian prostitutes who set up their own fashion label, the fate of the last gauchos in Uruguay, and more.
Born in Turin (Italy) in 1975, she taught herself photography while still in high school, and perfected her skills during an internship at the Magnum agency in Paris.
