About

Luca Portelli captures the world through the deliberate poetry of 35mm film, finding beauty in the spaces between moments. Based in Scotland, his work emerges from a deep understanding of visual storytelling, informed by his studies in HND Media Moving Image and a commitment to the tactile honesty of analog photography.

Working exclusively with film, Portelli embraces the discipline of limitation, where each frame carries weight and intention. His lens seeks the intimate within the universal—those fleeting gestures and quiet revelations that digital immediacy often overlooks.

In an age of endless digital capture, Portelli's commitment to film photography represents both conscious choice and artistic philosophy—a belief that the most profound images emerge from patience, craft, and the willingness to sit with uncertainty until the perfect moment reveals itself.
