Arty-Fact: "In a world where we’re expected to be slim but free to indulge, why not simply choose what brings us pleasure?" ~ João de Castro

About João de Castro

João de Castro grew up in an environment that combined a strict, classical education with the vibrant energy of the intellectual and artistic circles surrounding him. His childhood in the 1960s and 1970s was filled with creativity and excitement, surrounded by musicians, artists, horse riders, car racers and other inspiring figures.

A self-taught talent, João began his career in 1985 in the editorial and advertising industries as a photographer and producer. He later expanded his role to manage and direct his own advertising agency. In 1994, he discovered his true artistic voice, becoming the first Portuguese photographer to fully dedicate himself to the art of nude photography. His unique vision quickly gained recognition, and he was invited to share his expertise through press features, workshops, lectures, conferences and exhibitions. For several years, João juggled roles as a photographer, educator, writer, editor and producer.

From 2005 to 2010, João was a sponsored author and consultant in fine art photography and printing for major brands like Kodak, Hewlett-Packard, Adobe, Olympus, Sony and Hahnemühle in Portugal. He was instrumental in guiding photographers through the digital photography revolution, developing cultural projects along the way.

Between 2008 and 2010, João was honoured with the Professional Merit Award from the Professional Association of Photographers and the Federation of European Professional Photographers for three consecutive years. By this time, his work was already gaining international attention.

Building on this success, João shifted his focus to personal artistic exploration and expanding his global presence. Today, with 50 exhibitions, numerous awards - including honours from Black & White Spider, IPA and Monochrome - João's stunning work is featured in collections worldwide.
