About
Nicolas Brunetti (Italy, 1990)
Nicolas Brunetti is an Italian documentary photographer based in Cesena, Italy.
Through long-term projects, he explores the relationship between people, work and society, with a particular focus on communities, identities and everyday lives that often remain overlooked. His practice is rooted in building relationships of trust with the people he photographs, creating images that combine documentary rigor with a sensitive and carefully constructed visual language.
His work has been published by The Guardian, National Geographic Italia, Vogue, and other international publications. In 2025 he attended the Eddie Adams Workshop XXXVIII in New York and was selected for Photograph-ER as part of Fotografia Europea. In 2026, he was nominated for the Leica Oskar Barnack Award.
