Hi, I’m Michele Mateus,
Award winning Vancouver Portrait
Photographer, Artist and Speaker.
I am known for my vibrant energy and ability to help people feel at ease
(and even like!) being in front of the camera.
Each photoshoot is a collaborative dance, combining my minimalist aesthetic with your vision and vibe, offering you the opportunity to express yourself freely without shame or judgement.
Within my artistry you will find the raw, the untamed, and beautifully melancholic moments of those who desired to rebel against conventions
to have their story captured, as art.
Together we will create portraits that will be as transformational
as they are artistic.
Your only regret will be that you wish you’d done this sooner.
Welcome to artistry over conformity!
MY MANIFESTO
I’m on a mission
to create portraits
that are not just seen,
but felt.
TIMELESS. MINIMALIST. ICONIC.
PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
My photographic style holds a minimalist aesthetic, with an editorial edge,
inspired by fine art and documentary storytelling.
