Made in Italy, based in Hamburg since 2013.
I believe in changing things for the better by working with people and organisations that strive to have a positive impact on the world. I believe in being authentic and empowering others.
I grew up and studied in the beautiful Bologna. I have a BA in Development Studies with a focus of Development Economics and a thesis about the rights of Indigenous People, and a MA in International Economics and Finance and my thesis was about the economics of climate change.
I've always been passionate about communication and community-building, in one way or the other, and I have came to the conclusion that my career can be anything I want it to be. It took me years of poorly paid media jobs, unpaid internships, photographing 'for visibility', working with startups, NGOs, corporate nightmares and infinite instances of service jobs, to realise that as long as I know that my work is making the world a little better, and that I can find some joy in doing it, I don't need a fancy title or to hit any milestones.
Besides as a freelance photographer, I work as Event Manager and Producer, Digital Marketing and Communication Specialist, Translator, and Bartender.
If you want to work with me or learn more about what I do, email me at moin@nicoscagliarini.com or follow me on Instagram.
And well, LinkedIn of course.
All inquiries in English, German, Italian, and Spanish are welcome.
Do you belong to a marginalised group and/or are facing financial hardship, but still need any of my professional services?
I might be able to help you pro-bono, for a reduced price, or accept a payment in kind! I do not ask you to prove your situation to me but please include in your message:
What you need
When you need it
How much would you be able to pay/what would you be willing to exchange - if it's nothing, that's also fine!
My only criteria is whether I have the capacity to take on the request within your timeframe.
