  Luca Bracali

The earth, alive and pulsing with energy, as seen like never before, from the birds eye view. Aerial shots that show our living, breathing planet, veined with rivers, muscled with swirling sandstone formations, and weeping melting ice into the changing oceans.

Since 2008 he is a member of Apecs (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists) for his contributions about environment published in the media.
