Bianca Matalon (Milan, 1998) is an Italian photographer living between Milan and Haifa, Israel.
She holds a degree in Photography from IED Milan, where she developed Più vicino, a project exploring growth, friendship, and the connection between humans and nature. She later pursued a Master’s in Photography at IUAV University in Venice, during which she moved to Israel for a curricular internship. Her Master’s thesis, Haifa City, captures the essence of Haifa through its people, layered urban fabric, and historical events.

Matalon’s work explores personal, community-oriented, and territorial themes, investigating human nature, identity, memory, and the complexities of conflicts. Her photographs have been exhibited and published in collective exhibitions and photobooks in Italy.

Alongside her personal research, she collaborates with fashion and accessory brands, bringing her artistic vision into commercial photography.
