African Visions is the record of a remarkable thirty-year journey. A diary of powerful images, as well as snapshots of remembered moments, of photographs of her family and of tribal visions from the African bush. The people who have shaped and coloured her life are here, spanning the decades of a continent dominated by the colonial powers, wracked by the transition to independence and now firmly in the new millennium. Fuelled by an insatiable curiosity and by a hunter's thirst for images, Mirella Ricciardi traversed the length and breadth of the continent. She has travelled on foot and in canoes, on local buses and in Landrovers, in single-engine light aircraft, in hot air balloons and on the backs of camels and elephants in search of the images and the adventures that have shaped the life and work of this unique photographer. http://www.mirellaricciardi.com/visions.html
