Valerio Vincenzo is an Italian photographer and visual artist. He is the Head of the Photo Department at GEO France, where he develops visual narratives and collaborates with photographers worldwide, commissioning assignments that reflect GEO’s focus on human stories and environmental issues.
As a photographer, Valerio has worked on several long-term projects, most notably “Borderline, Frontiers of Peace”—a decade-long exploration of over 20,000 kilometers of European borders. This project, featured in publications such as El País, the Financial Times, Stern, and CNN, has grown into a multifaceted initiative that includes a book, a touring exhibition, and a workshop program designed to encourage dialogue about borders, migration, and identity, particularly among European youth.
In addition to his photographic work, Valerio is an educator and speaker. He frequently shares his insights and experiences at conferences, universities, and photography festivals, contributing to discussions on the power of visual storytelling and its role in addressing contemporary issues.
