Born and raised in the eternal city, aside from four years she spends in New York to foster her personal growth, she currently lives in Rome. In 2013 she starts shooting regularly while perfecting the skills necessary to master all the rules of photography, but it is only at the end of 2019 that she begins offering her work out to the public when she takes part in the Wave Market Fair in Rome.
Since then she exhibited in both personal and collective shows and in art contexts as well as non traditional locations, mainly in Rome but also abroad. In addition, she won first place in the “Viviamo la Città” Acea Roma by Light photography contest in 2023, she received the highly commended award at the Siena Creative Awards in 2022 for the Experimental category, her work was published in the Photosophia Magazine at the end of 2022 and she appeared along with her image on the Roma Metropoli section of the IlMessaggero newspaper for a collective exhibition mid 2022.
Self-taught in digital photography, post processing and printing, she is constantly approaching new shooting methods that break the rules while experimenting different post processing techniques to provoke the limits of photography in not being able to reproduce movement. On a medium that is static she frequently uses multiple exposures or other unconventional shooting methods (such as using tilt-shift and vintage lenses), to emphasize movement rather than documenting the harsh, vivid and sharp reality.
Her work is held in private collections in Italy, Germany, UK, Malta and USA. For more detailed information about her events and exhibitions you can visit the news page at nellyschneider.com
