New York based photographer, Luciano Fileti was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He began his career in photography while still a student of architecture and upon receiving a degree in Architecture and Urbanism from the Federal University of Santa Catarina in 1999, Fileti moved to New York where he worked as a freelance photographer.

In 2004 Fileti was presented with the opportunity to expand his experience with studio photography when he was offered a position as an assistant to legendary photographer Irving Penn. Fileti worked with Mr. Penn until 2007 when he returned his focus exclusively to his own commercial and artistic pursuits. Fileti’s first solo exhibit in New York, Signs, was at a private gallery in the West Village in September of 2008. Six years later, in September 2014, he simultaneously exhibited two collections from his Reportage series, Emanations and 100 Faces, in Midtown Manhattan.
