About Artist

Michele Crameri

Michele Crameri is a self-taught Swiss-Italian photographer, anthropologist, and copywriter with a deep passion for documentary photography and long-term personal projects. After completing his studies in communication and earning a master's degree in marketing, Michele began his career in the advertising industry. However, in 2006, he chose to embark on a new path, dedicating himself to photography, initially working in the fashion sector. ​ A turning point came with his involvement in documenting the Arab Spring, sparking his deep interest in the political and anthropological dynamics of crisis-stricken countries. As a freelance photographer, Michele has focused on impactful social issues, documenting stories often overlooked by mainstream media. ​ Among his most significant projects is an exploration of the figure of the hitman in Honduras, a visual investigation into a profession that embodies the extreme boundaries of human rights violations. Other works include documenting the economic crisis in Venezuela and the social degradation of the homeless in Los Angeles, delving deeply into the roots of inequality and injustice. ​ In recent years, Michele has also worked as a copywriter, further expanding his storytelling abilities through written words. ​ His photographs have been published and exhibited internationally, reflecting his commitment to giving voice to invisible realities and the rawest human stories.
