João Marques is a photographer and filmmaker. His artistic practice moves fluidly between still and moving image, defined by a stylised use of light and cryptic visual landscapes. Drawing from personal experiences, he explores layers of human connection and spaces of immateriality.

Commercially, he has shot campaigns and editorials for Galp (CCP 2022 Gold) and Diverge Sneakers (CCP 2023 Silver), alongside authorial work for Esquire and Cosmopolitan. 

He has also collaborated with musicians across both national and international scenes, from documenting the collective album Mirrors (2021) to directing a documentary film with DJ and producer Anna (2023). In 2026, he will release the documentary La Vie de Marie Manuela, filmed over four years, chronicling the artist’s journey through one of the most delicate and transformative phases of her life: stepping into adulthood and claiming her identity in the small village where she grew up in northern Portugal.
