About me

Biography

Italian-born Valentina Benigni has been living in France since 2018, combining two worlds: art photography and corporate photography with a strong strategic dimension.
With a Master’s degree in Business and former executive experience in international consulting in strategy and digital innovation, she now puts this experience to work in visual creation and photographic storytelling.

Her approach is based on a conviction: images are a language capable of conveying emotions, values, and identity—whether in a work of art or corporate communications.
She helps companies enhance their brand image in a sensitive and consistent manner by combining photography, artistic direction, and the promotion of works of art within professional spaces.

At the same time, as an artist, her limited edition art prints are exhibited and awarded internationally. Her project “Vulnerability dancing to the rhythm of flamenco” is regularly exhibited in France and abroad.
In 2022, she self-published her first art book featuring a selection of these flamenco photographs, LUZ FLAMENCA.

After 30 exhibitions in four years in Europe, the United States (New York, Miami), and Asia (Beijing, Dubai), Valentina’s art photographs continue to be exhibited and collected around the world.

Thanks also to prestigious international competitions (nearly 100 in three years), Valentina quickly gained recognition as an emerging international artist.

This dual expertise—strategic and artistic—enables her to offer a comprehensive vision of the image: aesthetic, intelligent, and meaningful.

Photographic approach

Her photographic approach takes the literal meaning of the word “photography” – writing with light – and develops into “painting with light”.

Despite technological advancement, she’s true to the purist approach to photography technique: 3 parameters to be changed manually, her creativity remains in the moment of photo-shoot and not later on the computer.

She likes to transcribe movement and bring emotions to life, going beyond the very principle of photography as a static frame: the idea is for that moment to be unique and unrepeatable, not posed, but equally able to convey movement and take the viewer on a journey.
