of a Norman mother and a Tuscan father,. Tuscany, where he

different world cultures.
Biography
Bruno Morandi was 18 years old when he first travelled to Nepal. He decided to give up his architectural studies to
become a mountain guide. One expedition followed another and after a
series of adventures and encounters, it soon became obvious to him that he
should become a photographer.
He became a professional photographer in 1990. Since then, he has worked
with leading magazines: National Geographic, Geo , Ulysse , Grand Reportage. His
photographs of the Tuscan countryside, the Hijra
community in Pakistan and the colours of
India and Morocco are amongst his most successful works.
From the dazzling colours of India and Pakistan to the
bewitching light of Tuscan countryside, Bruno Morandi
travels the world in search of different landscapes and cultures.
Influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson , David Alan Harvey and Steve McCurry whose humanist approach to photography he shares, Bruno Morandi seeks to capture slices of life and daily actions in all their simplicity and beauty.
