ABOUT US

Ostuni Foto Festival (OFF) is an international photography festival presented by the Lucie Foundation, a global organization dedicated to honoring photographic excellence and supporting visual storytelling worldwide.
The Lucie Foundation has long been committed to discovering emerging talent while recognizing the achievements of established artists through its renowned Lucie Awards and programs and initiatives globally.
OFF extends this mission into a dynamic experience—bringing photography into the streets, historic buildings, and cultural spaces of Ostuni.
Set against the timeless beauty of southern Italy, the festival offers a unique environment where art and place become inseparable. White stone architecture, Mediterranean light, and centuries of history provide a striking backdrop for contemporary visual expression.
OFF is not only a festival—it is a meeting point. A place where photographers and audiences connect, ideas are exchanged, and photography is experienced beyond the frame.
