From International Photojournalist to Fashion Photographer, Rodrigo has been  creating bold & vibrant  imagery for brands & entepreneurs for 30 years.

For nearly 30 years, Rodrigo has been behind the camera, from international news agencies to high-fashion studios in Los Angeles, London, and Miami. Along the way, he’s photographed an extraordinary range of people, brands, and stories—always driven by a passion for creating images that resonate with a non-conventional aesthetic.

A storyteller at heart, Rodrigo’s creative vision extends beyond photography into design, marketing, video, and creative direction. Today, he calls Tampa Bay home, taking assignments throughout Florida and around the world.

Rodrigo’s work is unmistakable. When he’s shooting one of our collections,
I know the photos will be iconic.

Graciously shared

— Sophie D.

“Working with Rodrigo felt like being photographed by a dear friend—one with an impeccable eye for light and emotion. The images are effortless and cinematic, like stills from a film I’ll watch forever.”

— Clara V.

“Every photo carries the intention of the brand—nothing felt posed, but everything felt meaningful. Rodrigo captured not just what it looked like, but what it felt like to be there.”

— Julien & Camille

“Rodrigo has a way of making you feel completely seen, yet never self-conscious. The experience was calm, artful, and full of light. Our gallery is nothing short of timeless.”

— Isabelle M.

“From the very first email to the final gallery delivery, Rodrigo brought a sense of intention and focus to the entire process. The photographs are exquisite—bold, powerful, and relatable.”

Rodrigo’s visual style is shaped by his love of travel, film, music, and literature. 

Rodrigo has lived the life of a true storyteller - having lived, visited and worked in over 44 countries and counting. Over the years his profession has become his obsession. Photography is both the vehicle and the end goal of his adventures. 

When he's not working on a project or evolving a client's brand story, Rodrigo enjoys working on his  upcoming novel, practicing yoga and teaching dance throughout Tampa Bay.
