About Eduardo Calvo

I’m a photographer and high-end retoucher based in Lisbon, Portugal. My work focuses mainly on portrait, music and real estate photography, capturing people, performances and spaces with an emphasis on authenticity, atmosphere and detail.

My interest in photography began at an early age. My mum has always been a photography enthusiast, and that curiosity naturally influenced me. At the same time I was becoming interested in computers, and when I got my first digital camera (with a whopping 0.3 megapixel sensor), I became fascinated by digital images and the possibilities of shaping them. Even with those early limitations, the process of capturing and transforming images quickly became something I loved.

I was born in Vitoria, in the Basque Country and raised in Palencia, central Spain. Later I moved to Dublin, Ireland, where I lived for sixteen years before relocating to Lisbon in 2017, the city where I’m now based.

For over a decade I’ve combined two closely connected areas of work: photography and high-end photo retouching. Working as a professional retoucher has given me a deep understanding of light, detail and image construction, which strongly influences the way I photograph.

My photography includes studio and location portraits, live music photography documenting concerts and performances, and real estate photography for homes, Airbnb properties and hotels in Lisbon and surrounding areas. Whether photographing people or spaces, I aim to create images that feel natural, balanced and visually clear.

Today I continue to work both as a photographer and retoucher, creating images that combine technical precision with honest and carefully observed moments.
