About the Instructor
Lisbon-born and Singapore-based, Nuno is a travel photographer drawn to places that reward patience and presence. Having lived across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, his work focuses on quiet human moments, cultural nuance and the poetry of everyday life.
For over two decades, Nuno worked as a Global Brand Design Director, leading creative strategy and visual identity systems for internationally recognised brands across food and beverage, retail and luxury hospitality. His work has shaped large-scale brand platforms, experiential environments and storytelling frameworks for names including Coca-Cola, Burger King and Tim Hortons.
That strategic foundation informs his photographic practice. An understanding of brand narrative, spatial awareness and visual language sits quietly within every image. For Nuno, photography is not separate from creative direction. It is an extension of it. Each frame is composed with intention, carrying atmosphere, context and meaning.
