Gastronomy

From product to table. Kitchens, chefs and ingredients — gastronomic photography that celebrates flavour and those who create it.

Ritual de xamanismo conduzido por Jhankri em Katmandu, Nepal, fotografia documental por Carlota Leitão

Shamanismo

Kathmandu. Where drums and mantras echo and speak to the sacred and the divine.

Quinta Vale Dona Maria

A year following the vineyard cycle in the Douro. From pruning to harvest, a project about time and the land.

It's the little things

It is that second when we stop running and stand still, just for a moment — to breathe, reflect, contemplate. While this thing we call Life continues to pass at high speed.

Carlota Leitão, fotógrafa documental e comercial baseada no Porto, Portugal

Hi!

Hi!

I'm Carlota Leitão

and I'm a photographer

It’s never just about the perfect image.

What drives me as a photographer is not just capturing the perfect image, but the story behind each photograph — whether in the effort of those who build an orphanage, or in the dedication of those who create a product, a space or a brand. What I always seek is to reveal what makes each reality unique and true.

I am a documentary and commercial photographer, based in Porto. I work in Portugal and abroad in product, interiors, architecture, local accommodation and gastronomy photography — and I develop long-term documentary projects about human stories.
