Bogotá native Daniella Benedetti began her photography career on her travels around various European cities including Barcelona and Milan. It was in the latter that she started to use photography as a means of expression, producing her first self-portrait project ""Obsession in Progress,"" which was selected for exhibition at Fotomuseum Winterthur.
