Mariana Bontempo is an internationally acclaimed photographer, known for her award-winning work and striking exhibitions.
Her artistic and sensitive eye turns every captured moment into something truly unique and unforgettable.
But Mariana is more than just a talented photographer—she’s a passionate artist who expresses herself through many forms of art.
She brings to mind the world of romantic films, where the main character stands out not just for her beauty, but for a unique light that shines from within. That inner glow, combined with her artistic sensitivity, is present in every shot, turning each image into a true work of art.
Specializing in fine art photography, Mariana creates images that not only capture precious moments but also give them an elegant, emotional touch. Her love for art runs deep—it’s been part of her life since childhood. She spent her childhood immersed in the arts—drawing, painting, dancing ballet, and playing piano. In 2008, she took this creative foundation further by beginning a bachelor’s degree in Fashion and Photography in São Paulo.
Her work has been shown internationally in prestigious venues like the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris and in Venice. One of her photographs exhibited at the Louvre earned the Outstanding Maternity Award.
Beyond her artistic career, Mariana co-founded the Brazilian Association of Newborn Photographers (ABFRN), an organization dedicated to promoting safety, education, and professionalism in newborn photography.
She also shares her knowledge as an educator, leading workshops and speaking at events in Brazil and abroad. She has taken part in respected photography conferences such as FHOX ON THE ROAD and Congresso FOTOGRAFAR, where she continues to inspire fellow photographers.
