I'm Adriano Castelli, a freelance photographer and writer with a passion for interiors, architecture, real estate, and brand storytelling. I create visual content and written storytelling for agencies, platforms, and brands across Europe, specializing in photo shoots, interviews, and copy that bring spaces and brands to life. I've led and collaborated on projects for Airbnb, MyHome, Plum Guide, MeeRo, Wesual, Booking.com, and Shutterstock, and I love building communities of creators and mentoring new authors. I thrive on collaboration and leadership, always seeking the best way to leave something better than I found it. My work blends photography, content production, and content strategy with practical operations to deliver high-quality results. In my spare time I enjoy photography, travel, tennis, cinema, and spending time with my family.
