That's Gucci: A Fashion Editorial in Lisbon
This was a shoot built on one idea: what happens when you take editorial fashion photography into the streets and interiors of Lisbon, with all the colour, texture, and confidence the city allows.
That's Gucci was shot at 138 Liberdade, a creative space on Avenida da Liberdade that gave us the right combination of architecture and atmosphere, tiled floors, velvet banquettes, outdoor terraces with martini glasses and a chessboard, and a piano that belonged in a different era entirely. The styling was maximalist by design: cream double-breasted tailoring, red satin, Gucci loafers pressed into pale roses, handwritten notes scattered across the frame. Every image was composed with intention.
The result sits closer to editorial than documentary photography, which is exactly what it was designed to do. We photograph destination weddings with the same eye we brought to this shoot, and that sensibility shows up in every gallery we produce.
