Giulia Degasperi (b. 1992, Trento) is a Berlin-based photographer. Working in a documentary manner across subject matter, she is primarily making work around marginal communities and the landscapes that they inhabit; With a focus on the intricate interplay between humanity and nature, Degasperi's recent projects address the critical theme of climate change and its consequences on the environment, as well as on our inner selves and the broader human experience.
Currently, Degasperi is directing her efforts towards personal projects while remaining open to collaborations aligned with her values. She welcomes opportunities to engage in meaningful partnerships, particularly with media outlets that share a commitment to raising awareness about environmental issues.
