Olá! I'm Joana Coelho, a Portuguese photographer based in Belgium with over 12 years of experience in photography and lighting techniques.

I am passionate about capturing the true and spontaneous essence of people. My approach combines sensitivity, empathy and a strong theatrical foundation to create authentic and engaging portraits.

Theater has always fascinated me, not just as an entertainment spectacle, but as a form of magical and therapeutic expression. This passion led me to deepen my knowledge of acting techniques and directing actors, as well as a detailed understanding of body language. This rich and diverse experience is reflected in every photo shoot I conduct.

In addition to photography, I am also a professional in lighting techniques for shows. I deeply understand light, its applications and how it can transform a scene. This allows me to manipulate the lighting in my photography projects in a way that brings out the best in each moment and person.

I always emphasizes the spontaneity and naturalness of people, even if it has a more elaborate and surrealistic production, what I am interested in portraying is the individual in front of me.

With a touch of humor and a theatrical approach, I adapt to any situation, assuring me that you feel comfortable and authentic. I prioritize the spontaneity and authenticity of moments, observing closely and giving subtle directions to improve body language communication.

Whether you are an entrepreneur or creative, I am on a mission to empower you by creating powerful images to help you market your personal brand
