Francisca Sallato

Visual Artist I Photographer I Designer

My background is in visual art and graphic design, and photography has become an important part of how I explore ideas, space, light and composition.

My work moves between photography, visual art and design, with a particular interest in minimalism, architecture, landscape and abstract forms.

I enjoy taking an idea and finding the right visual language for it — sometimes through a photograph, sometimes through typography, image-making, motion or design.

Alongside my personal photographic work, I collaborate with businesses and independent creatives to develop visual identities, concepts and digital experiences.
