Simone Mantia is a photographer and engineer from Livorno.
He discovered photography as a teenager, starting to photograph landscapes and portraits.
After a break, in 2017 he rediscovered street photography. He was immediately attracted by the possibility of freezing ordinary moments and of telling fragments of life through images.
In 2019 he began to explore documentary photography and he made the project “Doppie Visioni” on the Livorno rowing competitions.
He has been a finalist in several national and international competitions, including the MSPF (Miami Street Photography Festival), the LSPF (London Street Photography Festival) and the ISPF (Italian Street Photo Festival). In 2018 he received an honorable mention at the Urban Photo Awards and, in 2020 and 2022, he was among the winners of the Observa Street Photo Festival.
