A Documentary Approach

Moments, not poses

We don't direct the evening — we watch it. Every event is directed and every film edited by Marcelo Rodrigues, an award-winning documentary filmmaker, with hand-picked photographers shooting to that same direction. The film and the photographs come out of one way of seeing, because they do.

Think of the party pages at the back of a fashion magazine: everyone at their best, mid-laugh, mid-toast, caught in the flattering half-second. Nobody stiffly posed, and nobody caught out.

Behind the Stills

Marcos Daniel Ferreira

Most of those photographs are his. Marcos has shot alongside Marcelo for years, and he'll happily take the requests and the family portraits — but his gift is the other thing entirely. He finds the half-second nobody asked for, when a room gives itself away, and somehow everyone in it still looks like their best self.
