ABOUT WE LOVE PHOTO!
Photography with experience, direction and a human point of view.
WE LOVE PHOTO! is a photography company based in Rio de Janeiro, working across people, brands, celebrations, travel experiences and selected productions. Each project brings together planning, visual direction, production and carefully edited delivery.
EXPERIENCE SINCE 2008 · WE LOVE PHOTO! SINCE 2011
Built through years of real assignments.
WE LOVE PHOTO! was founded in Rio de Janeiro in 2011 by photographer Marcos Samerson, whose professional work began in 2008.
That beginning was built inside Rio’s party and nightlife scene. ProSession was one of the first companies to trust Marcos’s work photographing events, helping open the door to a period of recurring assignments in venues such as People Club and, later, TAJ Lounge, Zozô, Pink Elephant, Kiss & Fly, Praia Club and Île Beach Club.
Working night after night developed a strong instinct for people, available light, fast-moving situations and decisive moments — skills that became part of his documentary approach.
Over the years, that experience expanded into music, press-driven events, corporate and institutional assignments, hospitality, gastronomy, portraits, private celebrations, artist photography, brand content and travel-related work. In 2016, Marcos joined the photography team led by Georgeana Godinho for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic ceremonies at Maracanã, adding another layer of experience with timing, access and complex operations.
Today, that background shapes the WE LOVE PHOTO! approach: documentary instinct, natural direction, careful planning and a refined finish adapted to each person, place or brief.
