One visual approach. Multiple ways to create.

Ricardo Gonçalves, commercial photographer based in the Algarve, Portugal

I’m a commercial photographer and visual creator based in Faro, Algarve, working with brands, private spaces and creative projects across Portugal.

With more than a decade of experience, my work combines photography, short-form video and AI-crafted imagery with a focus on strong aesthetics, clear purpose and how each image needs to perform.

Photography remains the foundation of my approach. Video adds movement, while AI expands what can be imagined and created. Each project can bring these disciplines together or use them independently, depending on the idea and its goals.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with both businesses and individuals?

Yes. I work with brands, businesses, property owners, interior designers and independent creatives, as well as individuals developing projects with a clear creative or commercial purpose.

Can photography, video and AI imagery be combined?

Yes. A project can include photography, short-form video, AI-crafted imagery or a combination of all three. The approach depends on the concept, intended use, production needs and available budget.

How is AI used in your work?

AI is treated as a creative image-making tool, guided by photographic knowledge, art direction and commercial purpose. It can extend a real shoot, explore concepts or create complete visual worlds that would be difficult to produce traditionally.
