PHOTOGRAPHER VICTOR DE MELLO

Photographer Victor de Mello is the newest member of Larapixie Talent Agency.

Victor de Mello was born in the Cape Verde Islands,
growing up in Lisbon, Portugal, moving to Rio de
Janeiro at the age of 17 which sparked a life-long
passion for travel and a desire to experiences new
cultures and taking him to homes as diverse as
Edinburgh, Singapore, London, Cape Town,
Copenhagen and New York.

The melting pot of cultures combined with his former
careers as a Deep Sea Diver and professional model
are the main influences on his photographic world.

Simple lines and complex expressions
Victors early passion for large format Polaroid
photography remains in tact within his current work,
the large format serving to translate the modern
gloss of the contemporary photographic world into
images which retain the integrity of the classic
photographers studio while generating portraiture
with a level of intensity perfect for conveying the
complexity of human emotion.

Through a contemporary narrative laced with
sensuality his images walk a tightrope between
innocence and raw sexual power.
