I am Elena Bugada, a professional photographer, videographer and drawer with a deep passion for Visual Arts. After studying ancient art restoration, I pursued contemporary research across Photography, Painting, Video-art, Aesthetics and Semiotics, and I have exhibited my work in contests and collective shows. My practice blends drawing and writing with moving images to explore signs and meanings in everyday life. In recent years I’ve worked as a web content editor, product photographer and copywriter for e-commerce platforms, directing videos, producing editorial and still-life photographs. I also teach Art and Image at an Italian middle school, and I continue to travel and collaborate with artists to broaden my language and perspective.
