I am Michele Spatari, a documentary photographer and videographer based in Barcelona, Spain. I have spent most of my professional life between Johannesburg and Addis Ababa, working from more than 20 countries and covering major events in the region. My documentary practice is shaped by my architectural background and focuses on the study of bodies and space: how politics, religions, and social rituals shape contemporary societies. I am drawn to the melancholic loneliness and alienation of our world, the relationship between people and their surroundings, and the belief that personal stories can bear the weight of history. My assignments and personal projects have appeared in outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, TIME, Le Monde, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, El País, and Internazionale.…I am Michele Spatari, a documentary photographer and videographer based in Barcelona, Spain.
