Ivo Tavares Studio photography
Ivo Tavares Studio is an architectural photography practice based in Aveiro, Portugal, led by Ivo Tavares. His work reflects a poetic, minimal approach to capturing built environments, with careful attention to light, form, and spatial narrative.
Tavares collaborates extensively with Portuguese architects and design studios, documenting residential, hospitality, and commercial projects. Beyond photography, he also explores architectural video and teaches at the Portuguese Institute of Photography in Porto.
