Biography

Nicola Lanciotti is an Italian documentary photographer based in Rome, with a personal and professional interest on social, cultural and political issues in the Middle East and North Africa.

After graduating from The Danish School of Media and Journalism (DMJX) in 2021, his work turned toward Tunisia. He has documented the continued marginalisation of Tunisian youth - an issue that fueled the 2010 revolution and today manifest itself with the migration through the Central Mediterranean route.

Mentored by Magnum photographers Gilles Peress and Alex Majoli, between 2022 and 2023, he developed a body of work exploring and elaborating on the concept of liminality among young people in Tunisia.

Research-based and rooted in a journalistic approach, his personal work allows for in-depth and intimate storytelling. With a quiet, contemplative visual style, he aims to create a reflective space between image and viewer, fostering a deeper, personal engagement with subjects of historical and social significance.
