The Brazilian photographer Luciano Candisani has produced two decades of photographic narratives that interpret traditional cultures and vast natural spaces around the world. Its projects, commissioned and published by institutions such as National Geographic and awarded in Brazil and abroad, are visual chronicles about our relationship with the environment and the other species. The recognized aesthetic identity of their images carries a strong commitment to their creative motivation: to alert to the urgency of safeguarding territories and lives at risk. His photographs balance in a peculiar way between art and document and appear in exhibitions, art galleries and museums in various parts of the world. He's the autor of seven photographic books.

​

The work of Luciano is the subject of numerous TV shows and documentaries. The most recent is the acclaimed film Haenyeo: wisdom the sea, by filmmaker Lygia Barbosa (Tru3lab, 2018). The film featured in natgeo chanel tells the story of the Women of the Sea of the Jeju island, in South Korea, through the eyes of Candisani.

He is followed by film cameras and shares with them his creative motivations for the interpretation of the story before his own lenses. The result is a rare film, in which two different time languages, cinema and photography, complement each other in favor of a touching narrative.

Luciano has worked in all of the Earth’s oceans and in some of the world’s most remote places. But his home port is the the rain forest covered island of São Sebastião, just off the North coast of São Paulo state
