Biography

Luca Diana was born on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, Italy and started playing with cameras at the age of 6. His intense passion for photography has carried him to locales all over the world including places such as Canada, France, Ireland, Jordan, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Japan, Peru, Brazil, Egypt, Micronesia, across the United States and more.

As an artist, Luca keeps his eye open to all image possibilities, but he primarily focuses on landscapes, both natural and man-made (what he likes to call the Human Landscapes) but he also enjoys capturing the essence of snowsports as well as rodeos. His ceaseless quest to frame each place’s inherit beauty will continue on his upcoming voyages to other far away locations, such as Easter Island.Photographing Castle Geyser, Yellowstone National Park
