About

About Vitor Schietti

I explore the visual representation of dreams and memories as key elements of personal identity. My work spans from landscapes to portraits, where I use techniques such as long exposure, multiple exposures, and light painting to create unique imagery.

I was born in Brasília, Brazil, in 1986, and have been living in Barcelona, Spain, since 2017. Beyond photography, I’m passionate about rock climbing and animal rights, which also influence my creative perspective.

I hold a degree in Social Communication from the University of Brasília. In 2011, I co-founded a photography studio in Brasília, specializing in advertising photography, which continues to thrive under my partners' leadership. My series Impermanent Sculptures has gained international recognition, earning awards and featuring in exhibitions across Spain, Brazil, Italy, the USA, India, Japan, and Russia.

I’ve also studied cinema in Los Angeles and São Paulo, integrating video production into my services alongside photography to tell stories in a more dynamic way when necessary.
