Selected work

Six folders, from an AI campaign to street walls, brand launches and film sets.

AI fashion campaign, 2026

A resort linen label I made up to answer one question: can an AI campaign hold up to a photographer’s eye? Ten deliverables, two model identities kept consistent, one outfit carried from on-model to flat lay, fabric macro and two motion pieces. Built with Nano Banana Pro, Flux 2 Pro and Kling, finished in Photoshop.

I photograph and film street-level ad installations for Alchemy Media, an out-of-home agency in Los Angeles and New York: billboards, wild postings, barricades and murals for Prada, Celine, Gucci, Ray-Ban, Hugo Boss and Vans, and entertainment walls for Hulu, Prime Video and Illumination.

Royal Enfield chose three photographers for its official brand launch in Brazil. I shot the Continental GT at night in downtown São Paulo, lit against the old stone facades.

Camera and stills for André Pilli’s race between a Jaguar F-Type and a helicopter at the Goodyear test track. Still photographer on the sci-fi short They Come From The Sky, making-of for Uprooted (My RØDE Reel 2020) and set photography for Tempo, an AFI Conservatory short on 35mm.

Away from client work I draw. Illustration, pixel art and photo series that start where the camera work does: light, colour and a frame that holds. O Silêncio Canta and Pixel Echo are the latest.

MARESIA in motion

Two films made from stills: a slow lateral move across the product, and a walk that keeps the model’s face the same from the first frame to the last.

About Denis

I picked up a camera in São Paulo in 2009 and shot what came: nightlife, artists, then fashion and advertising. In 2017 I moved to Los Angeles and kept going. I started a production company, directed two music videos and spent years on film sets behind the scenes.

Since 2021 I have photographed advertising where it actually lives, on the street, for Alchemy Media. Standing in front of a Prada barricade or a Celine wall, you learn fast what makes a campaign read from across the street.

Now I make the campaign too. I use AI image and video tools the way I use a camera: test, compare, light, retouch, and reject what a photographer wouldn’t sign. MARESIA is the first full case.

I am looking for teams that make fashion and product imagery with AI and want someone who knows what a real photograph looks like.
