About Giuseppe:

Giuseppe Intrieri has been fascinated by nature since he was a child, and his curiosity for the natural world persisted into adulthood. He studied at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Calabria. Around the same time, he started his journey in photography, which began as a self-taught pursuit, enriched by occasional workshops and, later, formal training. He participated in an intensive professional training course in environmental and naturalistic photojournalism, organized by BLUOCEAN SRL in collaboration with the Calabria Region and sponsored by National Geographic Italia, getting qualified as an Environmental and Naturalistic Photojournalist. He has worked on assignments for publications such as National Geographic Magazine Italia, That's Italia, Casa in Fiore, InNatura, and others.

He now runs a company based in London, offering comprehensive photography and video services across the UK. His work spans a broad spectrum, from freelance assignments for companies and magazines to teaching photography in the field and organizing guided photographic tours.

Giuseppe says: "Photography and nature are not just professions for me; they are lifelong passions that have shaped who I am. My mission is to inspire others to see the beauty of the world through the lens, fostering a deeper connection to the natural and human landscapes that surround us."
