Hello, welcome to more information than you’ll ever need about me.

My name is Rodrigo Chaparreiro. I’m a lifestyle photographer and art director based in Barcelona. I’m passionate about nature and sports.

My journey from graphic design and art direction to photography has been an exciting adventure.

I was born in Lisbon, Portugal.

Since childhood, photography has been a part of my life. My father was a photographer, and I've always been around cameras.

It wasn't just photography that shaped me. I grew up with a great dose of sea, from sailing and bodyboarding and failing at surfing. Skateboarding is also something I love and sucked very much at, but the culture around it has fascinated me to this day. Music was a big part of my life. I had my band play concerts and even recorded a few songs (I will never tell you where to listen to it).  

In 2006, I moved to Barcelona, with the objective of keeping working as a graphic designer, but the opportunity presented itself and I switched to advertising. Working as an art director, over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with renowned clients like

While my roots lie in graphic design and art, my love for photography has been a constant throughout my life.

What initially began as a hobby has evolved into my profession. The transition from art direction to photography was a natural progression. My experience in the advertising industry has given me a unique understanding of client needs, enabling me to capture unique moments to tell authentic stories tailored to the brand’s narrative.

My love for nature, sports, and music has always been a part of my life and has become an integral part of my creative journey (as a source

of inspiration and motivation). 

Photography is more than just a career; it is a reflection of the life I cherish. 

I’m a traveler, a runner, and cycling enthusiast. Instinctively, I connect my own experiences with the subjects I’m shooting.

I seamlessly blend nature, architecture, and textured details that make up our lives and celebrate the relationship between people and their surroundings.
