Gil Ribeiro is a Portuguese street and documentary photographer based in Lisbon. Born in Brazil and raised in Portugal, Gil relocated to Germany at age 21 to study cinematography. After graduating as a Director of Photography from the FH Dortmund Film School in 2014, he spent several years working behind the camera as a DoP and camera operator.
In 2017, a casual interest in travel photography quickly evolved into a driving passion for the streets. Today, his extensive background in filmmaking deeply informs his photographic style. A multifaceted visual storyteller, Gil balances a keen eye for the "decisive moment" with the ability to capture rich, aesthetic scenes.
Driven by a dedication to the street photography community, Gil co-founded the Lisbon Street Photo Fest, launching its highly successful inaugural edition in 2025. Above all, whether organizing an event or holding a camera, what matters most to him is capturing images that tell a compelling story for the viewer.
