Giulio Di Sturco (b.1979, Italy) is a visual artist based in London. He studied at the European Institute of Design and Visual Arts in Rome and then moved to India where he spent five years refining his visual vocabulary, working throughout much of Asia and Africa.
His awards include three World Press Photo prizes, the Sony World Photography Awards, the British Journal of Photography International Awards, the Getty Editorial and Reportage grants and the Lens Culture Exposure Award, among many other accolades and recognitions.
He is a regular lecturer and portfolio reviewer at international photography events and a contributor to a wealth of publications, including The New York Times, Vanity Fair, National Geographic, Wired, Geo and the Financial Times.
His work has been exhibited in festivals and galleries worldwide and is held in private collections. Ganga Ma, his first monograph, is due to be published in Spring 2019.
Giulio continues to push the boundaries of documentary photography by constantly refining his aesthetic through new and old mediums. Much of his personal work focuses on human adversity in climates of environmental and technological evolution.
