Rose Richards is a Lisbon-based photographer rooted in a deep passion for music, travel, and storytelling.
I create bold, cinematic imagery for people and brands who want to be truly seen.
Lisbon-based photographer & filmmaker working with fashion, portraits, brands, and events. Available worldwide.
Photography has always been my way of seeing and understanding the world.
I specialise in cinematic identity photography - blending editorial aesthetics with emotional storytelling to create imagery that feels timeless and deeply personal.
Travel is at the core of my creativity. Every journey shapes the way I observe, feel, and tell stories through my lens, drawing inspiration from the places I visit and the people I meet.
With a background in photography and visual culture, my work has been exhibited in Lisbon and continues to evolve through both personal and commissioned projects.
Today, as a Lisbon-based destination photographer and filmmaker, I blend cinematic storytelling with bold, evocative imagery. Working across fashion, portraits, and brands, I create visuals that capture individuality, emotion, and untold stories - always inspired by music, travel, and raw self-expression.

Music is my biggest source of inspiration — from timeless rock icons to darker, theatrical sounds that fuel my creativity. Story-driven worlds pull me in, especially those rooted in mystery, psychology, and fantasy.
I feel most at home by the sea, surrounded by nature, good food, and moments that allow me to slow down and reconnect. Travel, music, and storytelling are not just interests — they’re part of my daily rhythm and deeply woven into the way I create.

WHERE I CREATE
I run a photography studio in central Lisbon, available to rent for clients who prefer indoor shoots.
I also use the space for product photography and video.
MORE ABOUT ME
I’m a plant mom, living in an apartment with 80-something plants. Music is a constant inspiration — when my brain and time allow, I write songs.
I lose myself in horror, drama, and fantasy stories, so reading and watching TV shows and films is part of my daily routine.
CLOTHING BRAND
During the pandemic, I created - DUSK RIDERS APPAREL. An alternative clothing line.
Vintage-inspired, with supernatural symbols and the Wild West as the ultimate revelation. 100% made in Portugal. Unisex.
A brand made exclusively for rebels.
Akari Photography Studio — Lisbon
Akari Studio is my photography studio located in central Lisbon — a calm, light-filled space designed for portraits, fashion, and creative projects.
It’s where most of my personal and client work comes to life — and it’s also available for selected rentals.
