Photographer

Gianluca began his journey in photography in his early twenties as a self-taught artist.

His work as a social worker led him to document the living conditions of a workingclass, low-income neighbourhood in his hometown. The project resulted in a book publication in 2016, in collaboration with the University of Florence, entitled "Dentro i quartieri di edilizia residenziale pubblica" (Inside the Public Housing Neighbourhoods).

Following the success of his first publication, Gianluca started working with nonprofit associations in Senegal and Afghanistan, documenting the conditions of women and the consequences of war on their lives. His work was featured in both Italian and international newspapers.

Later on, he moved to Malmö to dedicate himself fully to photography. In 2015, he began a four-year documentary project about Malmö's subcultures and the DIY scene in a basement located in Norra Grängesbergsgatan. Photos from this project have been published in Swedish national and international magazines. They were also showcased in the finissage "Warhol 1968" at Moderna Museet in Malmö in 2019 and the Dokumentär fotosalong 2020 at Arbetets Museum. Finally, Gianluca's work was published in a photo book entitled "Plan B," edited by Kira Förlag.
