Introduction by Regina Anzenberger
I love photography – all kinds of styles, various themes and photographers who dedicate themselves to personal subjects and picture languages. My choice of essays and photographers shall show that. Black and white, colour, different formats, reportage, concept and even iphone photography. But one thing photography has to do for sure: to tell us a story!
On Simone Casetta: We all know it. Single households, buying food, going out, throwing it away. The opulence of a privileged society. Simone Casetta’s work is about food distribution in the world. He started in Africa photographing food distribution by the USA in Sudan. The work presented here is also about daily habits. The food leftovers on canteen plates speak for themselves. They are the proof of a spoiled society.

Our poll "A photo essay always needs a great written story" closed. 267 people voted, 28% agrees, 72% disagrees. 233 people answered our follow-up question "Are you a photographer?" 82% indicated they are, 18% said no. Initially, negative answers to question #1 were almost 100% as was the pecentage of photographers among respondants. Then, when the level of non-photographers started to rise, the percentage of people indicating good text is always essential started to rise too. This seems to indicate that non-photographers think that adding good text to your photo essays is essential. In my opinion: if you want non-photographers to dig your work, you know what to do...
This first series of 91 images is part of a project that has social dissatisfaction in general as its motivation.
Wasting food symbolizes the unequal distribution of wealth in the world.
Individual or social denial is at centre of Simone Casetta’s work.
Initially a portrait and social reportage photographer, Casetta focuses on the fact that worldwide one billion persons are undernourished.
Simone Casetta (1961) lives and works in Milan, Italy.
