Hi, I’m Ricardo Martins Tiba Machado, a photographer and art director originally from São Paulo, Brazil, now based in New York. With a deep passion for visual storytelling, I specialize in capturing the raw energy of live concerts, the timeless elegance of fashion, and the emotional depth of film and music.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Culture & Media at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, Manhattan, with graduation expected in 2027.

Through my lens, I aim to craft compelling visuals that capture genuine emotion and tell authentic stories. By combining dynamic photography with thoughtful post-production, I aim to elevate each project, ensuring it stands out with uniqueness and emotional impact.

Beyond photography, I’m also a writer—passionate about short stories and poetry. For me, writing is another vital form of creative expression, helping to deepen the narratives that inform my visual work.

Whether working solo or collaborating with a team, I’m always eager to explore new ideas and challenge myself, I continuously seek to expand my artistic horizons.
