A new editorial i shot for BLESS magazine just got out. Named "Lady of the manor" it depicts a young woman living in a house full of wonders and random nonsense.

 It was shot in an old house, fully decorated in a vintage style, in the typical neighborhood of Graça, in Lisbon. We wanted to give a vintage meets fashion meets Alice in wonderland feel to it and also disrupt the "innocent little girl" look commonly used in that kind of imaginary, so we introduced Gabriela, a model using her hair shaved, some tattoos and a piercing on her nose.

All the editorial was shot with one Profoto head with a 5 foot octa attached to a Profoto Pro7-s to obtain a soft light on the model.

Last week Carolina Sanches, soon to be mother, posed for my camera for a series of great portraits to keep memories from her pregnancy.

We wanted to avoid the same old kind of photos pregants use to get, so i proposed to do a series of photographes like in a fashion editorial. In a different and fun way.

It was her first experience in a real studio, and the hours were long but, despite her 8 months pregnancy, she was very strong, cheerfull and the camera loved her.

Check some of the photos here!
