Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Lourenço is a multidisciplinary professional who transitioned from a decade-long engineering career into an award-winning full-time photographer and creative entrepreneur based in Almada, Portugal. He founded and scaled a diversified visual business spanning wedding photography and documentary work, corporate photography and video production, event photo booths, and fine art printing. Prior to photography he spent years as a structural and civil engineer on international projects across the UK, Middle East, and Libya, bringing rigorous project management and technical precision to his creative practice. An active coder and contributor to the D programming language ecosystem, he has implemented and tested conditional compilation features in dmd and improved phobos and LDC test suites, blending low-level backend development with QA automation. João balances client work for major corporate names with a passion for travel, motorcycling, drawing and annual exploratory trips, and still enjoys running a hands-on studio despite growing into a multi-brand operation.
