I am Marco Zorzanello, a documentary photographer born in Italy in 1979. After a Master’s degree in Archaeology at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice and fieldwork as an archaeologist, I turned to reportage photography, earning a diploma from the John Kaverdash Institute in Milan and a specialization course promoted by MoMA in New York. Since late 2015 I have focused on climate change storytelling, with a focus on its effects on the tourism industry. My long-term project Tourism in the Climate Change Era has driven collaborations with renowned publishing houses, newspapers, and international media, including Time, National Geographic, New York Times, Newsweek Japan, International and many others. My work has been honored at Visa Pour l'Image with the Yves Rocher Photography Award and shortlisted for the '6 mois prize pour photojournalisme,' among others, and has been exhibited at major photo festivals across Europe. In 2023 the French publisher André Frère published my first book 'Le tourisme à l’heure du changement climatique', and since 2020 I have collaborated with the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and MuFoCo on the creation of the 1900s Italian Atlas of Architecture. I aim to reveal the human-environment relationships through visual narratives, sometimes using ironic forms to convey the context in which we live.
