Marcos Lira Brandao

Marcos Brandão is a Brazilian photographer, born in Rio de Janeiro in 1970, whose passion for photography began at an early age. Over the years, he has worked across a variety of fields, including studio photography, fashion shoots with models, and numerous weddings and events. Yet, his true calling lies in exploring the world around him — from remote landscapes to the everyday beauty of cities. Marcos captures places often overlooked: squares, churches, streets, rivers, and nature’s breathtaking scenery. Fascinated by the richness of colors and shapes in both urban and natural settings, he believes beauty is everywhere, just waiting to be seen. Through his photography, Marcos aims to raise awareness about environmental conservation and inspire others to appreciate and protect the world we live in.
