Piero Castellano<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Piero<\/figure>
\n

I am an independent documentary photographer and journalist currently based in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I write articles, interviews and carefully captioned photo essays in Italian and English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I primarily focus on human stories framed in their cultural context to
explore their social, political and economic ramifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pay special attention to evolution of traditional lifestyles adjusting to new realities, with increasing awareness of the climate changes’ impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have worked across Europe, the Middle East, South America, the Pacific Ocean, and the Balkans. I was based in Turkey from 2011 to 2017, covering cultural, social and political issues, from disappearance of ancient traditions, gentrification and refugees to street protests and terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a forced hiatus, I am now based in Genoa, from where I roam as much as I can looking for new stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I write professionally in Italian and English. I speak and think in English, I can travel in Spanish and French and I know enough Turkish to live and make friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a newsletter<\/a> where I tell my stories’ background and sometimes I rant on Medium<\/u><\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am reachable via email<\/u><\/a> or Whatsapp<\/a> and Signa<\/u><\/a>l messaging.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
