A course by Gabriela Silveira
Gabriela Silveira is a Brazilian photographer specializing in digital content for jewelry, cosmetics, and homeware. Although she always enjoyed taking photographs, her real journey as a photographer began when she moved to Scotland at just 19. Though she touched on still life photography at university, she decided to pursue a career in fashion photography instead. Her job at a clothing brand led to her to photograph jewelry for e-commerce and eventually went freelance. Her relationship with Laboratory Perfume brought her full circle back to still life photography.
Nowadays, she uses a combination of the conceptual and theoretical skills she learned from her master’s with the experimental freestyle approach she got from art school, where she learned to step outside her comfort zone and tame her inner perfectionist. Her work explores themes like love, beauty, and death, with flowers and flesh often featuring heavily.
