Franco Cappellari

I work as a freelance photographer, specializing in travel reportage and aerial photography.

I firmly believe that photographic travel is a cultural enrichment that goes beyond the history, geography, and political context of the places visited: it is an experience that becomes knowledge, a desire to meet people with different habits and feelings, who can be narrated through photography.

The most engaging part of this profession is the ability to capture the world in all its nuances, wherever I am and with whomever I may be, enclosing it in a few centimeters of yesterday’s film or in the millions of pixels of today and tomorrow. It is exhilarating to give life to an image over time, whether it was taken ten years ago or just yesterday. It is a heritage I proudly keep, because it makes me rich.

My photography has always been guided by a single thread: curiosity and technique, combined with research, intuition, and creativity.

Alongside editorial and institutional collaborations, for years I have been designing and leading photographic journeys in Italy and around the world. These are experiences designed for small groups, where I accompany enthusiasts in search of the best light and the most evocative places. On these occasions, I combine my technical expertise with hands-on field experience, offering a learning path that goes beyond photography: a true way of experiencing travel, made of encounters, landscapes, and stories to tell.
