Vincenzo Pietropaolo is an independent documentary photographer. For those who still need convincing, his work makes an irrefutable case for photography as art. In Vincenzo’s hands, photography becomes a kind of language and his books intermingle photographs and words with mutually reinforcing effect. Vincenzo finds his subjects – or, perhaps as often as not, they find him – when travelling. In his various photographic series, Vincenzo’s honest and poetic images move us, documenting instants of Italian immigrants’ challenging everyday life (Not Paved With Gold); telling the little-known story of Canada's migrant workers (Harvest Pilgrims); and, more recently, capturing images and telling stories of an invisible minority whose members often live and die unacknowledged and unremembered (Invisible No More: A Photographic Chronicle of People with Intellectual Disabilities).
