“I’m interested in presence – the subtle feeling that comes through when someone exists — without performing”. — Maurizio Cigognetti

Bound in Light is a portrait exploration by Italian born photographer Maurizio Cigognetti. With decades of experience as both a commercial and artistic photographer working between Europe and Australia, Cigognetti has maintained an ongoing project photographing friends, family and strangers to bring brilliant and sharp character examinations to life.

Bound in Light emerged from a series of in-studio photoshoots, where select local subjects in and around Mount Gambier sat for their portrait. For Cigognetti portraiture is about ‘getting to know’ the people we live around, while also providing another lens through which to see our similarities and differences.
