I’m Sabino Parente, an independent photographer and visual storyteller born in Mola di Bari, in the south of Italy. My journey took me from studying in Milan to living and working in Luxembourg for 17 years, and later refining my craft with Magnum and Leica masterclasses. Today I fuse photography with design to deliver compelling corporate event reportage, live performances, documentary projects, and editorial photography, supported by stock contributions to Getty, Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, and Alamy. I’m known for my ability to put people at ease in front of the camera and for delivering reliable, high-quality results across international collaborations. Over the years I’ve collaborated with major brands and institutions such as Pirelli, FANUC Europe, Luxembourg Space Agency, Jasmin.com, Cartier, and Generali. In 2023 I earned Leica Certified Photographer status, recognizing my commitment to excellence. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me cooking, traveling, or enjoying time with my family. My work blends technical craft with storytelling, always aiming to meet and exceed client expectations.
