Who I am


A deep passion for nature and photography is what drives me to explore the world, both physically and emotionally

Gian Paolo Vanni


I am a young Italian photographer and video maker with a deep passion for natural landscapes and wildlife.

My works mostly focus on conservation and environmental issues.

Photography holds a unique message, an unquestionable one. Being in contact with incredible creatures and remote wilderness made me understand what Miss Jane Goddal once said: โ€ Asking ourselves if scimpanze, elephants, dogs, dolphins and so on, would feel pain, rage, frustration, happiness is just a waste of time – as these are all so obvious to anybody who has ever experimented animal knowledgeโ€.

Learning is one of the most important aspects in life and by learning from animals, especially those with a complex social behavior, I believe many questions can raise regarding their use in the entertainment, food, and research industries.

We are all part of an enormous and complex system and with my shoots I aim to show this fundamental connection.

My own designed travels

LETโ€™S TRAVEL TOGETHER


Each journey is a rebirth, it is like discovering a new part of oneself, one’s own needs and primordial characteristics.

Thanks to collaborations with various tour operators, I organize travels around the world, accompanying people through the discovery of Mother Nature and teaching them how to get the best results from a photo shoot.
