Witness Image

Witness Image

is a non profit organization founded by Luca Catalano Gonzaga, which combines photography and journalism. Its’ purpose is to narrate the great transformations of our time through a number of projects.

aims to document the world disorder of our day through images and their stories such as: the causes and consequences of the war, child abuse, hunger, poverty, injustices, natural and environmental disasters.

is fighting for the preservation of the “spirit” of any place, namely the traditions, habits and customs that contribute and render unique the identity of a human community. Wants to build a reflection on the right of people to remain themselves in this era of great political and socio-cultural changes.

does not exploit suffering as a brand but deeply believes in the strength of social photography. It is fully funded by foundations, companies and private donors.
