faces

people, as they are

A year of portraits made in kitchens, studios and stairwells. No direction and no retouching, just people in the moment they forget the camera.

About me

Mara VossPhotographer, Lisbon

Behind the lens

about

I photograph people the way they are when they forget the camera is there.

I'm Mara Voss, a portrait and editorial photographer based in Lisbon. For twelve years I've worked with magazines, brands and private clients across Europe, always with the same idea: honest light, real moments and very little fuss.

I shoot on digital and medium-format film, edit every picture by hand and keep shoots small and calm, so the people in front of the lens can simply be themselves.
