Lucas 😎
Hi, I’m Lucas da Costa, a Bolivian-Brazilian photographer and videomaker. I studied Audiovisual Production in São Paulo and also completed specialized courses in Cinematography and Camera Assistance. My passion for photography was born from my family, my parents are artists, so I grew up in an environment that values the beauty of light and color.
Today, my goal is to find the beauty of light within you and capture it, so you can have a lasting memory of your best self. I’m currently based in Lisbon, but I’m available to work in other cities across Portugal and throughout Europe. I speak Spanish, Portuguese, and English, so we’ll always have good communication.
