Hey, I’m Leo.
I shoot photos
& films.

I’m Leo Rodrigues. You might know me as @leowillcaptureit. I make photographs and films for restaurants, brands, people, and places.

I’m from São Paulo, and New York is where a lot of my life happens now. I’m also a line cook. Food, cameras, and getting a little lost have always made sense together to me.

I’m usually looking for the light on a building, someone working with their hands, or a small moment I could have walked straight past. That’s what I want to bring to your project, too.

WHAT I CAN SHOOT FOR YOU

Photos. Films.
Your idea.

A few starting points. If your project doesn’t fit neatly into one of these, I’d still like to hear about it.

Food & hospitality

The food, the space, and the people making it happen. Photographs and films for restaurants, cafés, and the stories around a table.

Brands & people

Products, portraits, events, and the work you’re putting into the world. Photos and short films for a launch, a campaign, or a story you want to share.

Places & travel

Architecture, streets, and everyday life. Images with the light, color, and details that made me stop in the first place.

THE KITCHEN

I know what happens
behind the plate.

I still work in kitchens. I care about the food, but also the hands making it, the prep before service, and the people you sit down with. When I photograph a restaurant, those are the things I’m looking for.

Food is one of the ways I get to know a place. It’s also one of the reasons I keep going somewhere new.

THE CAMERA

Why don’t we ever
look up?

I love architecture and the sky. In New York, looking up is sometimes the easiest way to feel close to nature. Light lands on a building for a few minutes and then it’s gone. I want to catch it.

The Wander Logs are where I put the photos and little stories from those walks. Japan is in there now. I’ll keep adding as I go.

What are you
working on?

Tell me what you’re making, where it’s happening, and roughly when. A few sentences are enough to get started.

Photography, film, or both. We can figure out the rest together.
