Giorgia Tobiolo

About me

Giorgia is an Italian creative documentary photographer and educator, based in London.Using photography as a therapeutic process and a personal research, her work can be interpreted as a circular practise. Raising internal questions stimulate Giorgia to examine the external environment.In this two-way, relationship, strongly and intimately empathetic, she is keen to reveal the humanity, beauty, and vulnerability of labelled or stereotyped subjects, often objects of prejudice. Ultimately, with her practice she aims to break down the indifference towards certain topics and give a voice to people that need recognition, support or inclusion.Besides her MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the University of Westminster, she has completed an Internship with Magnum Photos.Giorgia has been visiting as a guest tutor at Central Saint Martins and Westminster Kingsway College, and collaborating with schools, festivals and associations.Presently she is a mentor at University of Westminster and London College of Communication (LCC), a freelance tutor at the British Academy of Photography and she is working on a new long-term project about PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder).Giorgia has been featured by CNN.photos and published in Source Photographic review. She was shortlisted in the Professional Category of the 2014 Sony World Photography Awards and in the competition 30 Under 30 of Magnum Photos.Giorgia has also been selected for the Nikon-NOOR Academy Workshop, which took place in Manchester.More recently, Giorgia has been featured by C41 magazine about her latest project on PMDD awareness https://www.c41magazine.com/my-spot-of-beauty-the-error-by-giorgia-tobiolo/.
