PHOTOGRAPHER | FILMMAKER | EDITOR

OLÁ

Hey, I’m Bento – a photographer passionate about human connection and nature.

Photography, for me, is more about telling stories and creating something truly timeless. I specialize in portrait photography, intimate photography, events photography, adventure photography and branding. Whether it’s a deeply personal portrait, a quiet moment between two souls, or a gaze that speaks volumes, my goal is always to create images that feel honest, evocative, and deeply personal.

I believe that the best photographs come from trust and connection. That’s why I strive to make every session a comfortable, organic and funny experience - where you can truly be yourself, without pretense. No forced smiles, no rigid poses, no time pressure just authentic moments that reflect who you are, while I walk around you.

If you're looking for an unorthodox photographer who seeks to capture depth, intimacy, and emotion - then let’s create something unforgettable together - just tell me - where and when do we start?

PORTFOLIO

My portfolio is a combination of material captured over the last 10 years using different digital cameras, analogue cameras and drones.

I have worked for over a year abroad, travelling to approximately 20 countries, where I collaborated with local companies on large-scale projects. These projects involved filming and photographing remote and challenging locations, requiring advanced technical skills and adaptability to difficult conditions.

Throughout these experiences, I significantly improved the visual identity of various companies, helping them increase their sales of products and tours. I successfully launched multiple projects and strengthened the branding of existing ones, ensuring a more impactful market presence.

By developing unique visual content and strategic campaigns, I was able to engage new audiences and expand the reach of the companies I worked with. My work not only enhanced their image but also contributed to long-term business growth and customer engagement.

I don't believe we should limit ourselves to just one aspect of photography. While it makes sense to specialize in a particular style, exploring other areas of photography can help spark creativity and offer fresh perspectives. This is how we work across a wide range of projects. Embracing different approaches allows us to grow as artists and keep our work dynamic and exciting. Embrace the unexpected.

VIDEO

While my work is deeply rooted in photographing people at meaningful events, I also bring stories to life through video. Over the past four years, I have been in high demand for video production. Together with my team, I have contributed to projects that showcase companies’ products, elevate their brand image, and highlight their ambition to enter new markets. Additionally, we have worked on projects that strengthen the position of already well-established brands.

TRAVEL

My soul finds freedom in street and landscape photography, two forms of expression that allow me to immerse myself in the essence of the world around me.

Wandering through the streets of an unfamiliar city or amidst the vastness of an untouched landscape is a form of intimate encounter with myself.

It's not a process of creating for others, but rather an ongoing quest for personal expression. Travelling and photographing are my pathways to explore the world that is always in constant motion.

What do we do?

Events

Events mark some of the most significant moments in people’s lives, and we capture them with the utmost love and care. Whether it’s a wedding filled with emotion, a baptism symbolizing new beginnings, or a birthday celebrating another year of life, we are there to preserve every meaningful detail.

We also specialize in corporate events, ensuring that professional gatherings, product launches, and company celebrations are documented with elegance and precision. From intimate private parties to large-scale events, our goal is to tell your story through powerful and timeless images, allowing you to relive these special moments for years to come.

Portrait

Here is where we express the most our artistry, letting our imagination soar with dedicated time to create stunning portraits that allow creativity to flow freely.

Most of our sessions take place outdoors, as we have a deep connection with nature and love working with natural light, textures, and landscapes. However, we also have a dedicated niche for indoor sessions, where intimate photography takes center stage, creating emotionally powerful images.

We never repeat locations or poses. Every shoot is unique and designed to reflect the personality of each individual. This commitment to originality and authenticity is what sets us apart.

Branding

We collaborate closely with you throughout the entire process, from initial meetings to detailed execution, ensuring exceptional final results that elevate your brand. Explore how we can bring your vision to life through our expertise in photography.

With experience spanning five continents - Africa, South America, North America, Europe, and Asia, we have collaborated with diverse brands, adapting to different markets and visual identities. Our approach is meticulous, creative, and tailored to each project, ensuring that your brand stands out with a strong and memorable presence.

Noah Geffroyd

João’s one of the coolest people I’ve ever met, hands-down. Brilliant and with a huge heart, he brings tons of love and light to whatever space he’s in. I think it’s because of this, besides his natural talent and really exceptional eye, that his photos are so amazing: the people on the other side of the camera are nourished by his very authentic energy, and in turn feel comfortable being their authentic selves. Of course I would highly recommend him any time!

Giada Saretta
