Marco Urso

Author and a wildlife and travel photographer. Marco devotes great attention to light in his shots, to composition as the narration of a story, and he spends little time on post-production. His photographs are used for nature and travel books around the world, and are published by periodicals. In just the past three years, he has received over 150 prizes and awards on a national and international level. His photographs have been exhibited in Washington, San Francisco, London, Cologne, Singapore, Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Dublin and Tokyo, and in Italy’s most important cities and museums.

He was chosen as “Italian Author of the Year” for 2017, with publication of a monograph, “Emotions”, on his work as a photographer. In 2016 he published “The Lord of the Arctic”, on polar bears and their habitat. The book features a preface by the WWF. He accompanies small groups of photographers to the most remote corners of the world for photography expeditions and trips.

In 2015 he founded the Academy of Photography which offers courses and photographic itineraries for aficionados of this enthralling art. The courses are held for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Association, for countless photo clubs and associations, and for Fujifilm.
