Nicola Lanciotti (b.1988) is an Italian documentary photographer based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
His personal and professional interests primarily focus on social, cultural, and political issues in the Middle East and North Africa.
After graduating from The Danish School of Media and Journalism (DMJX), Nicola's work has mainly centred on Tunisia. Besides documenting the deteriorating political situation, over the past 2 years, he has also delved into the persistent marginalisation of youth - an issue that catalysed the 2010 revolution and continues to manifest itself through migration across the Central Mediterranean route.
Under the mentorship of Magnum photographers Gilles Peress and Alex Majoli, between 2022 and 2023, he developed a body of work that explores the concept of liminality among young people in Tunisia.
Nicola's work is research-based. His journalistic approach not only allows him to satisfy his personal curiosity about the subject but also enables him to tell the story in a profound and intimate manner.
