Photographer and Director

Nuno Alexandre Serrão is a Portuguese photographer and director whose photography work has been published in publications like HuffPost, Expresso, Público, L’Hémcycle, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, and GQ, by brands like Adobe, Discovery and Samsung, and exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including Fotogalerie Friedrichshain in Berlin, the National Museum of Finland in Helsinki, National Gallery of Macedonia in Skopje, Galleri Fold in Reykjavik, and Casa das Mudas in Madeira Island.
Led by curiosity, he often creates or documents ambiguous but frameable non-linear narratives about uncomfortable topics that, in the end, pose a new set of questions about what is fundamental or emergent.
As a director, his shorts and advertising films have also been awarded in various film festivals worldwide, such as the Aesthetica Film Festival, Caminhos do Cinema Português, FUSO, Inshadow Festival, Amsterdam Independent Film Festival, Annual Copenhagen Film Festival and Astoria Film Festival, among others.
Nominated in 2022 to be a member of the Creative Europe platform Futures Photography, has been an Adobe Partner since 2020, and is represented by the British agency Kintzing for photography licensing.

Ana Marques Maia, Público, 2024

“(…) They depict deserted landscapes being at times overtaken by imposing brutalist architecture, translating a form of melancholy through its aesthetic simplicity. The cinematic compositions, deprived of human life, show places of passage and transition where time seems to stand still for a relieving moment of quietness before a choreography of movements resumes.

Claire Ducresson-Boët, Fotogalerie Friedrichshain, 2022

“(…) His cinematic compositions and unorthodox approach to portraiture demonstrate a sensitivity to the world around him. (…)”

“Nuno Serrão is a Portuguese photographer, interested in the dialogues between science and contemporary art. Each of his images considers how information is handled, shared, and perceived, framing scenarios as micro-narratives, demonstrating a sensitivity and a curiosity for the planet and its inhabitants.
