About Me

Willie brings a sense of fun & playfulness to every shoot he’s on, something that’s helped him shape a successful photography career spanning over 20 years.

Originally from Brazil, he started out studying journalism, but soon discovered his passion for photography, while working as an assistant to a top advertising & fashion photographer in Brazil.

Based in the UK since 2008, Willie has worked with various brands including Primark, Very, BBC, Channel 4 and Universal Music, with editorials in Marie Claire Brazil & The Telegraph.

Fluent in three languages, he connects easily with people from all different backgrounds.

Known for his easy-going nature and love of comedy, he has a natural ability to make both adults & kids feel comfortable and relaxed on set.

When he’s not behind the camera, he enjoys visiting Portugal whenever he can. In his downtime Willie loves to play the guitar or roller skate with his daughter. He’s also a dab hand with a drill and loves to build furniture for his home.
