Nilla Sacchetti

Nilla Sacchetti is a travel photographer and writer from Australia.

Inspired by greats such as Ansel Adams, Robert Capa, Robert Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Vivian Maier, documenting life’s realities devoid of artificial nuances is Nilla’s objective.

Nilla's work captures fragments of reality, which convey a true and raw representation of realism. Interchanging between film and digital mediums, Nilla captures a spectacular vista or an image of poverty that narrates a story without words. A flash is rarely used.

“With only minimal post-production, I am passionate about retaining the moment’s visual integrity, whilst providing evidence of the socio-cultural contradictions surrounding an underdeveloped country.”

The past decade has seen Nilla’s work exhibited and sold internationally, with select group shows in Amsterdam, Bologna, London, Brisbane, and New York. And solo exhibitions in Brisbane (Australia) and Cerisano (Italy).

Nilla’s work also gained recognition with silver awards from the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photographers), and is displayed in private collections globally.
