Ciao, I'm Ricardo!
Welcome to La Dolce Vita, where we celebrate the best life has to offer! Photography became a part of my life through a deep passion for storytelling and an insatiable curiosity about the world around me.
My journey began in journalism, and I've had the privilege of working extensively with various national and international newspapers, such as Público, The Volkskrant, TimeOut and The Guardian.
I've been honored to have my work recognized on the international stage with multiple awards, exhibitions, and photography festivals. With more than 200 weddings shot alongside Portugal's leading photographers, I founded La Dolce Vita in 2023, a project moved by pure emotion, joy, beauty and appreciation for every unique detail, while ensuring the authenticity and timeless memories of your big day are captured in a fluid and natural way.
Influenced by a background in music (I was a musician before discovering photography!), I draw inspiration from films, poetry and painting. I also love to travel and immerse myself in new cultures.
Each story I tell is guided by bespoke artistic sensibility and a deep respect for the people in front of my lens.
On the day after, you’ll likely find me strolling on a sunny beach with my loyal four-legged companion, Aramis, enjoying the quiet joy of the present moment.
La Dolce Vita is more than a name - it’s a way of life. A commitment to embracing life wholeheartedely and preserving its most significant moments!
Now that you've learned a bit about me, I'm eager to hear your story. Let’s begin!
