Born in Brazil, Rodrigo DeMedeiros has been a professional photographer since 1993, when he then relocated to Seattle. He holds a BA in Advertising (University of Brasilia, Brazil) and a AAA in Commercial Photography (through the Art Institute of Seattle). Rodrigo offers an open and bold approach to the images he captures, revealing all the energy, subtlety & beauty of his subjects photographed. Specializing in Fashion, Editorial, Advertising and Travel, he combines style and creativity with that high megapixel expectation. He also enjoys doing behind the scenes and publicity imagery for Independent Films (as seen in the Star Trek : : Phoenix series).
He has worked with clients such as Corbis, Microsoft (Surface and Windows Media Center), TCM Models, The Garrigan Lyman Group, Babolat, T Mobile, Boy Scouts of America, and OnRequest Images (as both Photographer and Producer, coordinating complex shoots worldwide for clients like Starbucks, Gevalia, Citibank, and Wells Fargo), to name a few. Recently, Rodrigo was awarded Honorable Mention ina worldwide contest held by Photographer's Forum Magazine. The winning image was published in the magazine's 2008 Photography Annual.
There is much more to Rodrigo than meets the lens: he is an actor (IMdB credits) and a stay at home dad. For frequent updates on his acting life, check out his blog at: wordpress. When he is not photographing commercially, he likes to travel abroad and visually document his experiences. His work has appeared in publications and periodicals nationwide and internationally, including San Francisco based CMYK, Seattle Magazine, Japanese PRECIOUS, Tennis Magazine and 425 Magazine - recently named the "Vanity Fair of the Eastside" by the Seattle PI, and to which he contributes regularly.
