Simon Belperio <\/strong>was born in Osnabr\u00fcck in 1991 and is a German-Italian photo and video journalist. After technical training and various stays abroad, he began to devote himself entirely to visual storytelling. He feels at home in the waters of nuance, ambiguity and multiple perspectives. Swims in five languages and loves the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
