Luca Babini Bio

Luca Babini (AKA Acool55) 

For over 25 years, Italian-born, New York-based director and photographer Luca Babini has been telling stories through his lens. With a multi-award-winning career rooted in the fashion industry, he has cultivated a sophisticated aesthetic that has attracted major commercial clients and publications worldwide.
Babini’s passion for narrative extends beyond the studio. As a filmmaker, he is drawn to stories of human endeavor and environmental significance. This led him to join the Plastiki expedition, a daring trans-Pacific voyage on a recycled vessel, which he helped document to spotlight the critical issue of ocean plastic. His belief in purpose-driven storytelling also informed his work with UNICEF, where he applied his communications expertise to social missions.
His deep understanding of visual language has fueled his evolution into a creative strategist and entrepreneur. After co-founding the branded content agency kodezero and serving as U.S. Creative Director for a Parisian art tech platform, he has now founded Arkana.Digital, a next-generation creative agency specializing in AI-driven photography and storytelling. This venture combines his extensive experience in fashion with cutting-edge technology, positioning him at the forefront of digital innovation in the visual arts.
