ADRIANO GAMBARINI

Adriano Gambarini is a Brazilian photographer, documentary director, and author who has spent over three decades documenting the wild and the human across six continents. A professional photographer since 1991, he trained as a geologist at the University of São Paulo, a foundation that gave his work rare scientific depth alongside its visual power. Author of 20 books, he moves through the world as photographer, editor, storyteller, and speleologist. Over 30 years in the Amazon, he has documented biodiversity and indigenous cultures for institutions including the Smithsonian, WWF, and The Nature Conservancy. His guiding principle is simple: always go after beauty. His archive — 400,000 images from Brazil, Antarctica, and 48+ countries — reflects a life built entirely on the road.
