Altana was born in 2018 in Venice after the encounter between Francesco Paleari, Elia Pinna and Francesco Villa. It’s meant to be a place for conversations and exchange around photography, genuinely dedicated to authorial research and care for editorial projects. Altana refuses to be labeled but rather prefers the dynamism of an evolving hybrid studio.
Altana is not a publisher, it is not a physical place and either a concept. Altana is a flying carpet made of wood from which you can enjoy a new perspective through photography.
