About

Hi, I'm Gil Ribeiro. I’m a Portuguese photographer based in Lisbon.

I was born in S. Bernardo do Campo, Brazil (1981) and moved to Lisbon as a young child. At age 21 I moved to Germany to pursue an education in cinematography.

In 2014, I graduated as a director of photography from FH Dortmund film school in Germany and have been working as a DoP/Cameraman since then.

In 2017 I began photographing more regularly. What started as a hobby ended up becoming a passion. With time I established a great interest in street and documentary photography.

I see myself as a multifaceted photographer, having a keen eye for both the timing for the decisive moment, as well as the capability of capturing rich aesthetic scenes. My extensive background in film making adds a level of depth and atmosphere to my images. Overall what matters most to me is that the pictures I take tell a story for the viewer.
