MATTEO PAVANA Born in 1990, Matteo Pavana began his journey into photography and climbing almost simultaneously, nurturing both passions over time. After the degree in Economics & Management at the University of Trento, he furthered his professional path in Graphic Arts at TAG. Following a brief stint as a graphic designer, he transitioned to working as a mountain photographer and director, collaborating with brands such as La Sportiva, Salewa, Patagonia, and Mammut. He has traveled across Europe, Africa, North America, South America, and Asia, documenting both mountain landscapes and their protagonists. Today, his work aims to balance aesthetic elegance with sustainability, offering a visual and sensory interpretation of the harmonious relationship between Man and Nature. Show more
