Giacomo d’Orlando is an Italian freelance documentary photographer committed in exploring the relationship between the human and the environment. His work looks at how the increasing pressure brought about by climate change and the human impacts are reshaping the planet and how present day society is reacting to the new challenges that will characterize our future. He is particularly focused on climate change, scientific & technological research and environmental conservation, with the aim of sensitize people about the priority of restore and preserving our natural ecosystems. Throughout his career he collaborated with international magazines, publishing with The New York Times, National Geographic, Washington Post, Stern, Der Spiegel, Guardian, BBC, Mare Magazine, Paris Match, GEO France, El Pais, Courrier International, Greenpeace, Nature, Australian Geographic, Oceanographic Magazine, FQMillennium, De Volkskrant and more.

In 2023 along with other two colleagues Alfredo Bosco and Karl Mancini he founded Ronin, a platform which has photography in his center, but that also wants to address these topics through other different tools and spaces such as social live, podcasts, events and meetings.
