Federica Chiocchetti is the founding director of the photo-literary platform Photocaptionist. Based between London and Tuscany, she is a writer, photography critic, curator, and editor. Currently working on her Ph.D. in photography and fictions at the University of Westminster, she explores the intersections of images and words through exhibitions and books. She works independently and for international institutions, collections, festivals, and fairs, including the Kunsthalle Budapest, the V&A, Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Brighton Photo Biennial, the London Art Fair, and the Archive of Modern Conflict. Her writings have appeared in Der Greif, Photoworks, Foam, Objektiv, Unseen magazine, EXTRA, The British Journal of Photography, The Photographers’ Gallery Blog, and MAPP Editions (MACK). Her book »Amore e Piombo (Love and Lead): The Photography of Extremes in 1970s Italy«, co-edited with Roger Hargreaves for AMC books, won the Kraszna Krausz 2015 Best Photography Book Award.

Lisa Stein is the managing editor of »Photocaptionist«. Currently a doctoral student in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths University, her research examines the relationship between thought and the photographic image, taking its point of departure in George Bataille’s writings on »nonknowledge«. She has been published in the journal Philosophy of Photography and is a regular contributor to the online magazine Photomonitor.
