FRANCESCO LEGNANI
About
I'm 32, based in Zürich but originally from Italy. Over the years, I’ve visited over 45 countries, always seeking out new perspectives and hidden corners that tell authentic stories through imagery.
I have a strong focus on street and travel photography. My work is rooted in a documentary approach, and shaped by a passion for exploring places — especially those that are off the beaten path and away from typical tourist destinations.
If you’re interested in capturing real moments and telling compelling stories through documentary photography, I’m available for travel assignments, editorial projects, and visual storytelling collaborations.
