Luca Berti

Preserving Heritage Through Timeless Lens

Since an early age, I have been surrounded by art, such as old paintings and furniture, as my grandfather was an art collector. I grew up in an ancient family palace in the heart of Florence in 1978. In 1998, I started traveling and photographing for magazines and newspapers. From 2000 to 2003, I studied photography in Milan. After a commercial start as a photographer, I have been only focusing on my personal art projects. My Florentine background has been following me in both private and professional life.

With 25 years of experience in photography, both commercial and art side, always analog, always black and white.

Photography is a lifestyle. ‘Man and Nature’ is a project that has become my life project. It started in 2011 and is still in progress. It covers Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the Baltic Countries. Next countries are Italy, Slovakia, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland.
