Gianluca Cecere is a photojournalist based in Naples, Italy, whose work focuses on social issues, minority groups, underrepresented communities, and religious minorities. His images explore resilience and vulnerability, documenting everyday life within complex cultural and geopolitical contexts.
After studying Economics at the University of Naples Federico II and spending a decade in the banking sector, he turned to photography in 2005 — a shift driven by a conviction that the human story, in all its difficulty and dignity, deserves to be told.
Over the past two decades, his work has taken him from the streets of post-war Kosovo to villages on the edge of the Chernobyl exclusion zone, from the front lines of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the shifting borders of Israel and Palestine. Across each assignment, the focus remains the same: the people living through history, not just witnessing it.
