Stefano Carini

Stefano Carini worked as a photo editor for NOOR Images in Amsterdam after studying photography and photojournalism. In May 2014, he moved to Iraq where he lead Metrography, the first Iraqi photo agency, and created the Map of Displacement, an interactive project that tells the stories of displaced Iraqis. Carini has trained photographers and visual storytellers in Europe and Iraq, given lectures, and curated both solo and group exhibitions. He has been part of the World Press Photo’s Joop Swart Masterclass nominating committee since 2014. Carini’s main objective is to be part of, inspire, and push forward a cultural revolution in the ways and forms we produce, consume, and process images and visual documents. Carini lives and works in Scicli, Sicily and is the co-founder and director of DARST, a nomadic art studio for the research and production of documentary projects.
