Bruno Bertini
Italy, living in Barcelona, Spain
Bruno Sergio Bertini is an Italian documentary and street photographer based in Barceloneta, Barcelona, working across Europe, Asia, and Australia. Self-taught, working between photojournalism and humanist photography, his practice is built on presence rather than reconstruction: nothing staged, nothing recreated.
In September 2025, Bruno documented Nepal's youth uprising on the ground in Kathmandu, resulting in the project "Young Blood / Old Chains", published in Protest in Photo: Gen Z Power and exhibited at the Nepal Photography Festival, "What Remains What Rises" (Colombo), and MFC Festival Barcelona.
His work has been recognised with a Fujifilm Highly Commended distinction (Australasia's Top Emerging Photographers 2025) and a longlist placement in the Booooooom Photo Awards 2025 (Top 200 of 19,000 entries). His photography also extends into editorial and fashion work, including backstage coverage of Aquafina Vietnam International Fashion Week FW2025. Bruno holds an MSc in International Business and a professional photography qualification from the Nepal Institute of Photography, and is a member of Fotografiska
Project
"GEN Z Power" documents Nepal's September 2025 civil uprising through the eyes of an independent photojournalist on the ground as events unfolded. The project follows the movement at street level, capturing confrontation, solidarity, and the human cost of a fast-moving political crisis, from riot lines to quieter moments of care between demonstrators and, at times, the police themselves.
The work was published as a photobook and exhibited at Kathmandu Photo Festival, reflecting a broader interest in documenting history as it happens.
