Marta Giaccone (b. 1988, Milan, Italy) received an MA in Documentary Photography at the University of South Wales, Newport, UK (2014) and a BA in English and Hispanic American Literatures at the University of Milan, Italy (2011).

Her personal work and research focus on issues related to family and youth with a particular interest in the feminine perspective. She is also drawn to the juxtapositions of cultures and ideologies found within contemporary American society. Evolving through long-term documentary projects shot on medium and large format film, her photographic practice enables a more intimate and contemplative approach.

Her clients include The New York Times, The New Yorker, Monocle, Vogue Italia, D la Repubblica. Her images have appeared on numerous print and online publications. She has worked for Richard Mosse as a production assistant for Incoming and Heat Maps; for Magnum Photos NYC, Bruce Davidson, Alessandra Sanguinetti and Mary Ellen Mark as an intern.
