After a childhood spent bathing in sun, sea and sand, I decided to leave my birthplace, Alghero, in Sardinia, and embrace a much colder climate. I now call the grey skies of London, England, home.
I specialise in wildlife and travel photography, earning commissions from newspapers, magazines, tour operators and tourist boards. I also lead specialist photographic tours around the World. To date, I’ve been lucky enough to have visited 82 countries.
I have a strong passion for conservation and am actively involved in a project in Sierra Leone, at Tacugama Chimpanzee Conservation centre. In 2022, I was made an official ambassador for the sanctuary. You can find out more HERE.

“There are photographers around who can take phenomenal images like Renato, but very few who really engage and inspire the guests with their own photography like he does.” Jamie Watts, expedition leader and Marine Life Education consultant
“Renato is a positive upbeat team player always contributing in ways to help guide, educate and provide a safety net for our guests. His lectures are informative and entertaining, and of course illustrated with his beautiful photos! His personality is inviting and our guests often flock to him for not only information but just because he has that infectious grin and happiness about him!” – Susan A at GAdventures
“We were more than delighted with the shots Renato supplied. He delivered inspirational images that illustrate our product perfectly. With a few creative angles we hadn’t thought of before, which were a bonus. We would certainly recommend Renato’s photography services.” Debra Taylor, Marketing and PR – One Ocean Expeditions
