• Biography
  Born in New York to Portuguese parents, João Carlos is an Advertising, Fashion and Portrait Photographer and Film Director currently based in Lisbon Portugal. At the age of five, João expressed his innate interest in creating when he asked his parents for a camera for Christmas. Upon receiving a box like toy camera, he kindly thanked them but gave it back, pointing out that it did not have a flash and wanted a real one. Though he expressed this interest in having a ‘real’ camera at the age of five, João’s artistic explorations began with painting and fine arts which led him to study at Ar.co
