That foundation in traditional craft remains active in his practice today — he continues to shoot on \n  film, process black-and-white negatives by hand, and scan his own work. His travels, spanning destinations \n  across four weeks each year, serve as the primary engine of his photography, grounding each image in a specific \n  place and moment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n  Though he approaches photography outside of a commercial context, de Matteis brings technical depth and \n  disciplined curiosity to his work. His ongoing commitment to both analog and digital processes reflects a \n  rare breadth of practice, resulting in a body of work that is rooted in craft and shaped by genuine \n  wanderlust.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/5005\/9766\/collections\/Screenshot_2026-05-27_at_7.32.42_AM.png?v=1779881579","url":"https:\/\/loupeart.com\/collections\/giovanni-de-matteis.oembed","provider":"Loupe, Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
