Photographer & Director

Rita Castel-Branco is a photographer and director based between Lisbon and Paris.

With a background in film and fashion, she creates bold, cinematic visuals across fashion, fiction, documentary, commercials, and branded content.

 

Inspired by pop culture, cult films, and surreal storytelling, her work is rooted in contrast - raw and polished, nostalgic and hyper-modern. Her personal projects often explore identity, femininity, and self-reinvention, with a love for misfits and the visually eccentric.

 

Rita thrives in both independent and commercial settings, adapting her creative process to the needs of each project. Whether directing a campaign, shooting an editorial, or developing branded content, her focus is always on mood, narrative, and visual tone.

 

She has led productions across continents from high-energy fashion shoots to intimate documentaries - and has worked with clients including Vogue, Netflix, Google, Canon, Havana Club.
