Professional photojournalist | Luca Marchetti
Sports, news, and reportage photojournalist in Italy and abroad
Luca Marchetti is a professional photojournalist with over twenty years of experience in journalism and photography.
His professional career began in 2005, with his first collaborations with newspapers and press agencies. After significant, ongoing experience with a monthly sports magazine, he registered with the Order of Journalists as a freelance journalist in 2008.
Since then, photography has become his way of narrating reality: through images capable of documenting an event, capturing a unique moment, and conveying the emotion of what happens.
Sports photography, news and reportage
Over the years, Luca Marchetti has gained significant experience in news photography, particularly sports photography.
Football is one of his main areas of focus, with coverage of Serie A, Serie B, and Coppa Italia matches, as well as matches involving the Italian and Under-21 national teams.
His experience, however, extends far beyond the world of football. He has photographed competitions and events dedicated to cycling, motorcycling, kayaking, swimming, athletics, and numerous other disciplines, also documenting extreme sports.
Every event requires attention, speed, and the ability to anticipate the action. For a photojournalist, it’s not simply about taking a photograph, but about being in the right place at the exact moment when something worth reporting happens.
A path built on the field
Throughout his professional career, he has collaborated with various photography and journalism agencies, including the LRphoto agency and Activa Foto.
Among the events and competitions he has documented over the years:
- Italian Slalom Championship on the Nera River
- Red Bull X-Fighters Roma
- Serie A and Serie B matches
- Tirreno-Adriatico
- Exo Tour – Marmore Falls Kayak Race
- Coppa Italia final
- Italian National Football Team and Under-21 National Team matches
- Concerts, shows, and live events
- News and reportage
An experience built directly in the field, following different events and each time dealing with new situations, people, and contexts.
Reportage in Italy and Abroad
Luca Marchetti’s work also includes photo reportage in Italy and abroad, with availability for travel and long-term projects.
Over the years, he has also completed work in Tunisia and Morocco, depicting places, people, and situations through a direct and documentary photographic approach.
Every reportage stems from observation. The goal is not simply to show what is seen, but to try to narrate what happens, maintaining the authenticity of the moment and respect for the people and stories photographed
Professionalism and Continuous Training
Luca Marchetti is a registered journalist and a member of the Italian Sports Press Union (USSI).
Professional training is an important part of his work. Over the years, he has participated in continuing education programs for journalists, deepening his knowledge of ethics, information responsibility, and the journalism profession.
