Tiago is a Portuguese visual artist and storyteller. With a background in architecture and nearly a decade in the film industry as a VFX compositor, he brings a sharp eye for detail and a cinematic sensibility to everything he creates. His post-production work spans high-end productions like Star Wars: Andor, Black Panther, and Shaun the Sheep, but his true passion lies in crafting thoughtful, visually-driven narratives that connect people and place.
In 2024, Tiago completed an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the University of the Arts London. The program became a turning point—fuelling a deeper commitment to slow, intentional storytelling, and to using creativity as a tool for impact.
Over the years, his projects have taken him from remote quilombos in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest to marine conservation initiatives in southern Portugal. Whether shooting editorial work, building websites, or producing short films, Tiago combines technical fluency (Adobe Creative Suite, photo/video, web) with curiosity, organisation, and a steady creative hand.
Now working with a landscape design studio in Lisbon, he contributes across photography, video, marketing, and communications—blending visual craft with purpose-driven work. He’s currently looking to bring that same energy into a junior art director or creative role where visual storytelling, clarity, and collaboration matter.
Looking for someone who can blend film-world precision with documentary heart—and isn’t afraid to climb a mountain to get the shot? Try him.
