gonçalo m catarino

In a nutshell…

I started my career as a Consultant in 2003. Then, in 2014 I decided to change and become a full time Photographer, always looking for the most striking and compelling stories and images.

You can check some of my work in this website or keep reading to know more about the projects I’ve been working on.

I'm currently based in Lisbon (Portugal) but available to travel in search for the best images.

A bit more…

I’ve had the pleasure of working with many creatives over the years and I am proud of some projects I created. Here are some highlights:

KAEOT [2015-2017] was an online platform/website that highlighted the up and coming names of the Portuguese fashion scene. Through interviews and photoshoots, me and Catarina Barreiros, helped promoting the new faces in modelling and fashion design that were blooming in Portugal and internationally. The official website and social media have been deactivated, but you can still find a portion of what we did HERE.

G Talks [2019-2021] - my podcast (in Portuguese), where I sat down with several people that I've met along my path as a freelancer. People that influenced me somehow and that have very useful and interesting experiences to share with other freelancers. Although I stopped recording it in 2021, I still recommend several of these talks, due to their relevance. You can find them on Spotify.

"10 anos de freelancing: 10 Erros Lições" [2024] my first self published book. I decided to celebrate my 10 years as a freelancer by writing a book (in Portuguese) about the most costly mistakes that I and other freelancers have made. You can find it on Amazon.

On a personal level, I’m currently working on…

"Musings" [since 2014] - a photographic series about women and the perceptions about their bodies. It's my longest and most challenging photographic project and hopefully, one day, it will be much more than what you can see here.

GStudio's Newsletter [since 2020] - a newsletter for the creative and curious ones. That’s where I share tips, tools and reflections about Photography, Creativity and Freelancing. Join the English version here, it’s free! Versão Portuguesa também disponível, aqui.
