Filippo Ferraro (b. 1990) is an Italian documentary photographer.

 

After earning a law degree, he chose to pursue photography, focusing on long-term projects that explore the evolving relationship between humans and the environment in the context of the global climate crisis. His work pays particular attention to the transformation of collective cultural identity in response to these changes.

 

Over the years, his projects have earned prestigious recognition, including the Earth Photo Award, and have been featured in international publications such as Newsweek Japan. His photographs have been selected for festivals and screenings worldwide and exhibited in both solo and group shows across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa.
