About Vitor Schietti
Visually representing dreams, memories, and surreal landscapes have been part of my identity since a young age, which I first developed through drawing and watercolor. After learning photography in my adolescence, I found long exposure, light painting, and other techniques as the best means to create images that are strong and inspiring. Born in Brazil but based in Spain since 2017, I hold an undergraduate degree in Social Communication from the University of Brasilia and a cinematography course at NYFA in Los Angeles.
I've participated in individual and collective exhibitions across many countries, I have won awards and I collect several articles about my work, some of which you can find below. I've successfully delivered assignments in advertising, fashion, visual arts, music, dance, real estate, and events, which give me a broad set of tools to better serve clients. Teaching photography has also been a relevant part of my journey.
Since becoming an activist for animal rights I seek to attend clients and institutions that are aligned with such values, also producing original content through the project The Vegan Utopia.
Below you'll fin a section of Schietti's most relevant media appearances.
