SKILLS
ABOUT EMANUELA ASCOLI
My work bridges photo editing, photography, event production and strategic partnerships.As Head of Photography and Events at National Geographic France (Prisma Media), I lead the magazine’s visual storytelling strategy across editorial issues, special editions and branded events — from concept development and curation to production and partnerships.With over a decade of experience in photojournalism, photo editing, licensing and production, I collaborate closely with an international network of outstanding photographers, explorers, writers and experts to shape stories that reflect the beauty, diversity and complexity of our world.Alongside my editorial and curatorial work, I’ve authored numerous photo reportages and cover stories around the globe — immersive field experiences that deepen the link between editorial strategy and on-the-ground realities.Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office, I bring both creative sensitivity and operational precision to every stage of the process.Earlier in my career, I managed large-scale concert tours and international artist relations — building expertise in live production, logistics and cross-functional team coordination.I’ve lived and worked across Europe and Latin America, and speak Italian (native), English, French and Spanish. I believe that connecting cultures and ideas is key to telling stories that truly matter.
