Renan Cepeda

Born in Rio de Janeiro in a Portuguese family, Renan Cepeda started taking black and white pictures at the age of 11, influenced by his father, an amateur photographer. Having graduated in Industrial Mechanics at CEFET-RJ, by the 1980s his experience was enriched by photojournalism at the newspaper Jornal do Brasil, collaborating with the country’s largest publications as well as being a correspondent of the French agency SIPA-Presse in Rio. Having his full time now devoted to the fine art photography, Renan Cepeda has been recognised for his artistic research on unusual photographic techniques such as infrared photography and light painting. He maintains his atelier in the neighborhood of Santa Teresa, where he fouded with Kitty Paranaguá and Thiago Barros the ATELIE ORIENTE, producing exhibitions and wokshops in its space.
