Andrea Belluso at Xposure: "The planet is just fine without us"

Art for nature: Belluso’s initiative for environmental change

The London-based Italian photographer introduced his four-year-old initiative, Art for Nature, which dedicates 70% of funds from the sale of his art to environmental efforts. Belluso aims to support organisations that efficiently utilise funds to heal the earth, focusing on conservation projects like the Calakmul rainforest in Mexico.

Using creativity to promote conservation

Belluso presented stunning photographs of models, including a ballerina from the Royal Opera House, London, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Calakmul. His work highlights mankind’s connection with nature, with the proceeds dedicated to rainforest conservation.

Power of light and oneness with nature

With a focus on blending humanity and nature, Belluso spoke about how light can change reality and emphasised the need for greater harmony with the planet. “The planet is just fine without us,” he reminded the audience, advocating for a deeper connection with nature.
