Pedro Oliveira

Pedro Oliveira is a distinguished American director specializing in editorial, documentary, and advertising still and motion photography, originally hailing from Brazil. At just 33 years old, Pedro has rapidly established himself as a formidable creative force, operating out of both Dallas, Texas, and Los Angeles/Orange County, California. With over seven years of professional experience, Pedro has captured compelling imagery for esteemed publications and brands, including Forbes, National Geographic, Vanity Fair, LA Weekly, Volvo, Hyundai, The Guardian, Johns Hopkins University, the acclaimed musical Hamilton, Der Spiegel, and Almarai, among others. His remarkable trajectory in the industry has earned him recognition as one of the "Top 10 Photographers of 2020" by PhotoPolitic. Often referred to as a "wonder kid" and an "up-and-coming creative," Pedro embraces his reputation with a playful spirit, equally known for his quick wit and penchant for dad jokes. However, it is his rich background—a humble upbringing in the Brazilian countryside by a widowed mother, infused with the vibrant essence of Latino culture—that profoundly shapes his artistic vision. This unique perspective allows Pedro's work to resonate with authenticity and freshness. Having spent much of his adult life in Portland, Pedro has also cultivated a refined palate, becoming a connoisseur of kombucha and coffee. For an enticing collaboration, all it takes is a bowl of peanut M&Ms to win over "de Oliveira."
