Luca Nostri was born in Lugo in 1976, where he lives and works. After studying Sociology at the University of Bologna, he attended the lessons of Guido Guidi at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna. In 2020 he completed a PhD in Photography at Plymouth University.

His research of the last fifteen years focuses on an area of the province of Ravenna known as Bassa Romagna ("Lowlands of Romagna"), which he has investigated over time with an interdisciplinary approach, combining artistic and curatorial projects.

In 2005 he has established in his hometown the project Lugo Land, involving international photographers and young authors, devising an editorial series for photography, and developing an educational program, affiliating with some universities (University of Pennsylvania School of Design, Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, Bard College in Hannandale-on-Hudson, NY).
