IN CONVERSATION WITH
MARTINA
CONSCIENCE D'UNE FEMME
"Conscience d'une femme" is a photographic project that takes the viewers into a trip through the phases into discovering ourselves, our strength and values.
Is divided, in three phases:
Act I - faune blanche
The first act represents the soul it self, pure as it is, without any influence from the outside, transparent, mostly naive, sometimes surrounded by fears.
Act II - Mirage: two sides, reflection of all that a soul wish to become; the desparate attempt into keeping your own personal image; the path for reaching your true self
Act III - Final - Dominatrix : the point where a human, in these case a woman, reaches her full confidence in life, the moment where she takes out all her strength, her personality is finally built after so many experiences.
She knows her limits but also her values.
She finally dominates her fears.
She has complete consciousness of her inner self.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY
I was born in October 1995, around lunchtime, in the amazing city of Rome.
I grew up surrounded by music and art, and I started discovering cameras at a very early age.
I especially loved playing with my dad’s video camera.
I would always fill all of his videotapes with my weird little videos — it was a real mess, haha.
Or I would take photos of cats, plants, and flowers of all kinds with my disposable Kodak camera during school trips.
The main goal? To keep memories with me forever, to be able to see them, to “touch” them again and again, giving them a sense of permanence.
My photography represents the story of my soul: my ideas, the things I love and hate, my dreams, my language.
My projects usually revolve around what I like to define as “conceptual drama,” mixed with fashion visuals and emotional portraits.

What’s your signature as a photographer?
The ability to express true feelings through visuals
How would you describe your visual style in 3 words?
Dramatic, impressive, true.
What’s something unique about how you shoot or approach a session?
I often don’t plan anything — no mood boards, no references. I just go there and start creating. I deeply believe in the spontaneous side of creativity.
Tell us the story behind one image you’ll never forget.
Probably the ones where the muse is my husband, Artem, who is also a wonderful model.
We met on a beautiful, sunny day in March in my hometown, while working together on a photoshoot.
From that moment on, our souls never parted ways.
What do people feel when they see your work—and what do you want them to feel?
People should feel free: free to hate my work, to love it, to feel loved, to stop for a moment and simply dream. I would like to stir something within their thoughts.
What’s a photo you’re most proud of, and why?
So far, I’m proud of my entire artistic journey and creative process.
It really showcases my transformation—my artistic evolution over the years and through different periods of my life.
And there is still so much of my artistic language that I want to express and continue to explore.
You can always give more to yourself and to art.
What’s the most unexpected thing photography has taught you?
The freedom to let the soul express itself.
What do you want your work to say about you, even when you’re not in the room?
“Her photos are talking to me”
What do you want to be known for—as a photographer and as a creative?
For the ability to remain true to myself while expressing my art
If someone’s looking at your portfolio 10 years from now, what do you hope they see?
Truth.
What’s something about you people don’t usually see in your work—but should?
People often focus only on the visuals, without taking the time to look deeper into an artwork or photograph. I wish they could be more introspective and see what lies behind the work.
