ABOUT _ PAULA LE MOULT

“ I am not looking for the perfect fashion image, for me its really a study of an energy “

I’m a Brazilian photographer, fashion editor and creative director based in Brussels. I grew up in Rio — with an artist mother who is also an architect, with an eye for the eloquent and the layered. The light, the colour, the loud and unapologetic Cariocas: these are early references that never left me. They show up in how I read a frame. Photography came through three decades inside fashion — art direction, costume and fashion design, marketing, creative strategy, brand building, editorial work, founding and running my own international label. I hold an MA in Design Management from London College of Fashion and Luxury Brand Management from ESSEC. The industry was my education in image long before picking up a camera with intent. I have produced campaigns for Brazilian fashion houses and worked with publications including Numéro NL. Whether on editorials, brand projects or personal portraits, my process is grounded in research, conversation and a good Brazilian vibe. The result is imagery that feels intentional, personal and quietly powerful. My work tends toward women — blurring the lines between their presence, their contradictions and who they are.

I work between Brussels, Paris and anywhere work calls me.
