Alberto Scattolin (b. 1985, Bassano del Grappa, Italy) is a photographer and director based in Hossegor, France.

He has been taking photographs since childhood. In the late 80s and early 90s, he carried a film camera almost like a toy — a simple way to play, observe and make sense of the world around him. One of his earliest series was a collection of photographs of the dogs in his neighbourhood.

Growing up skateboarding and travelling, photography became naturally connected to the streets, characters and independent culture that surrounded him. It developed as a way of documenting places and moments, but also as a personal language built around observation, instinct and atmosphere.

Alongside photography, Alberto built a professional career in moving image, beginning in broadcast television in 2002 and working across major international sports productions and live music.
Over the years, this evolved into directing, filmmaking and commercial production for international brands, artists and creative projects.

Today, his practice moves between commissioned photography and film, advertising, editorial work and personal image-making. His approach combines technical precision with a more instinctive and tactile way of working, with a particular attention to light, texture, movement and the character of a place.

His photographic work increasingly extends into fine art, developing personal series and limited edition prints, alongside commissioned imagery for brands, hospitality, architecture and design.

Based in Hossegor, Alberto also directs WRONG, an independent creative studio, gallery and analogue-focused space rooted in photography, film and visual culture.
The space provides a physical extension of his practice, connecting commissioned work, exhibitions, community and independent creative projects.

At the core of his work is a simple instinct: to photograph what feels real, rather than what is simply meant to be seen.
