Adriano Gambarini
Photographer
"Fineart is one of the best way to share the beauty of this world. When one of my photos touch the hearth of someone, my memories become part of that person. So, that photo is not mine anymore, but born again and again, indefinitely, connecting histories of life."
Adriano Gambarini has been a photographer and writer since 1991. Author of 19 photographic books, he is considered one of the most important natural and cultural photographers in Brazil, with great experience in outdoor photography in remote areas. As he often participates in historical and environmental expeditions throughout Brazil, he is also associated with NGOs as World Wild Foundation (WWF), Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and OPAN.
Photographer for National Geographic Brazil over the last 14 years, he also acted as a journalist correspondent, writing online texts and submitting photographic coverage in many Asian countries.
The author supplies images from his archive holding approximately 500,000 photographs of Brazil, Antarctica and 55 other countries, which is commercialized on the editorial, advertising and fine art markets.
Speaker three times in TED Talk, Mr. Gambarini lectures in photography and natural history as specialist in private trips around the world, where he links photographic work to a process of awareness and environmental conservation, culture, and social aspects of traditional population.
