Butcher – Ballarò Market

In the vibrant chaos of Palermo’s Ballarò Market, this project captures the daily rhythm of a local butcher at work — a man whose hands and presence embody tradition, resilience, and the raw beauty of street life.

Set against the backdrop of shouting vendors, hanging meat, and weathered stalls, these images offer a candid look into a trade passed down through generations. “Butcher” is a street photography narrative that blends portraiture and reportage, telling the story of labor, pride, and identity in one of Sicily’s most iconic markets.
