Bruno Bertini is a documentary photographer and journalist based in Barcelona, with roots in Brescia, Italy and Africa.

He has covered civil unrest in Kathmandu, fashion week in Hanoi, quiet mornings in Varanasi, across four continents and counting. His work sits at the intersection of photojournalism and humanist portraiture: unguarded moments, political contexts, the human experience beneath the surface of events.

Before photography he studied marketing and international business. He left to do this instead.

He writes as well as shoots: not captions, but the political and social contexts that images alone can't carry.
