Nando Brunetti is an Italian American photographer from New York. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Staten Island. The hectic city life of Manhattan felt far removed, but a ferry ride to Manhattan with a camera in hand lead to a spark, which crafted a passion and formed an obsession with street photography.  This developed passion has led Brunetti to hitting the streets almost every day, chasing and searching for every next moment.

Brunetti is a student in CUNY Staten Island obtaining a BFA degree with a concentration in Photography and currently lives in Staten Island.
