of two flight attendants who took her on work trips to far-flung places—Singapore, Venezuela, Australia, India—photographer Stephanie Gengotti was used to a life on the go. So when she began following family circus troupes through Europe six years ago, the experience seemed familiar to her. “I feel very similar to these people because I also come from a family of travelers,” Gengotti says. “I connected to them. It reminded me of who I was.
For Gengotti’s Circus Love project, the first troupe she followed was the Brunette Bros., roaming Italy. Lisa Skjoth Madsen, Emanuele Fiandri, and son, Ernesto, pose in this 2016 portrait.
