Born in Belgium, Nicola Ricci is a 19 years old Italian photographer based in Paris.
His interest goes to social issues and events, the challenges of our times such as identity research, stigmatisation or isolation, but also self-destruction and childhood.
His curiosity borns from a need of control. Documentary photography helps to invert the process, slowing time allows to let the story come to him letting things develop. Like this, control changes to observation.

He creates images that tells a story, that make people pause to decipher them, appreciate the details, but also the obvious gist that does not seem so obvious by now: the human being.
