About

Jacopo Bellelli is an Italian photographer based in Brussels, Belgium.

Born along the ligurian riviera in 1984, he began practicing film photography in 2007 and further developed his photographic activity and research from 2019.

​

His work focuses on themes of nostalgia and solitude and explores the relation between spaces and the human element, as well as between reality and feelings. His photographies try to capture the melancholia of moments and places suspended in time and reflect on what empty urban and natural places can say about human presence and absence.

Searching for the surreal element hidden in reality and everyday setting, his images aim at telling a story, while leaving plenty of room for poetic suggestions and interpretations. 

​

Jacopo's work has been featured in print and online publications including Lomography, If You Leave, Little River Magazine, Think Very Little, Sound in Picture and Filmic Streets.
