Hello! My name is Gonçalo Sereno.

I grew up in Portugal, but moved to the UK to work as an equine vet. 

I jumped into film photography as a hobby a few years ago and never looked back. I’ve actually never owned a digital camera. My core focus is portraits, usually set outdoors in natural light.

 

Before picking up a camera, I was a fairly self-centered person.
Portrait photography completely shifted my perspective. It forced me to turn my focus outward, set my ego aside, and appreciate the beauty in others. Learning to capture people authentically in their element has been a deeply transformative experience for me.

 

My signature style relies on natural light, a dreamy quality and a quiet connection between the subject and nature.

​

During my shoots, there's no rush. I'll gently guide you through poses when needed, keeping everything natural and effortless, while always making space for those beautiful, unexpected candid moments.

​

Once the rolls are finished, they're sent to a lab, developed in magical chemicals and carefully scanned. Your finished photographs are then delivered digitally, ready for you to keep, share and treasure.
