> BIOGRAPHY
Nicolò Rinaldi (1995) is a documentary photographer and visual researcher, founder of Lucid Dreams creative studio. His artistic research explores the relationship between humans and nature, focusing on the transformation of the landscape due to human intervention and documenting the impact that infrastructure has on the surrounding environment.
Adopting an ironic and realistic visual language, since 2021 he has been exploring different social phenomena, dedicating numerous trips to documenting overtourism. In 2024, he won the STRATEGIA FOTOGRAFIA fellowship, promoted by the General Directorate of Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture, with the project "W.E.I.R.D.", a documentation of various approaches adopted by humans to replicate natural elements in artificial environments.
He develops both personal and commissioned documentation projects, alternating them with commercial and editorial work in Milan, around Italy and abroad.
