More about Bruna V....
What do you love about your job?
What I love most about my job is the opportunity to transform meaningful moments into visual stories. Ever since I received my first camera at 14, photography has been my way of connecting with people, places, and emotions.
I’m continually inspired by the privilege of entering different worlds, and translating their narratives into images that feel honest and alive. Each project is an invitation to listen, observe, create, and collaborate.
I love the blend of intuition and technique, the way light shapes emotion, and how a single frame can say what words can’t. Most of all, I love that photography allows me to create work with purpose, images that resonate, hold memory, and forge connection.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of photographing a wide range of subjects, from families, newborns, and weddings to fashion editorials, brand campaigns, food photography content, and album launches for musicians. I’ve worked as both photographer and videographer across these projects, which has allowed me to develop a strong, versatile storytelling approach.
My work with families, newborns, and weddings spans more than 10 years. What makes these shoots special is the emotional intimacy they carry. I approach them gently, creating a comfortable environment so people feel relaxed and genuinely seen. This allows me to capture natural gestures, quiet tenderness, and the subtle details that become cherished memories.
In the world of fashion and editorial, I love designing images with mood, texture, and narrative intention. I collaborate closely with creative teams and talent to build concepts that feel expressive and poetic, and I pay special attention to direction, movement, and atmosphere.
With musicians, I’ve photographed album launches, portraits, and behind-the-scenes stories. I aim to translate their sound and artistic identity into visuals that feel cinematic and emotionally connected. These sessions are highly collaborative, shaped around personality, rhythm, and visual identity.
My goal is always to go beyond documentation, to craft imagery that feels alive and tells a story worth remembering.

A fun fact about this photographer
A fun fact about me is that I learned how to play the bass, and I absolutely love it! It’s one of my favorite ways to connect with music and unwind creatively.
