Southwest Productions is the go-to production service company in Portugal.

Portugal offers fantastic locations, easy access and the ability to “double” as many other countries. From the rugged wilderness of the northeastern corner through the central mountain landscapes and down to the rolling plains of the Alentejo and the cliff-backed beaches of the Algarve, Portugal never ceases to amaze with its astounding variety.

Bordered to the west and the south by a long coastline, Portugal offers some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches - endless open stretches or secluded coves as well as dramatic coastal cliffs rising above the foaming Atlantic.

The country is dotted with little towns and villages and its major cities mix history and tradition with the new and ultra-modern.

Here, the film season never ends - Portugal has one of Europe’s mildest and sunniest climates and the country’s location at the southwestern edge of the continent gives the light here a quality all its own.

Beaches, mountains, small towns and urban areas - it has it all, and Southwest Productions is here to assure clients take full advantage of all Portugal has to offer.

Being raised between Africa and Europe has given Isabel Pinto a very unique style, vibrant and free spirited. Her background in anthropology adds a very different perspective on the way she “sees” people, children, and life; it provides a very emotional approach to her work that has become her trademark across fashion, catalogues, commercial work, lifestyle and portraiture.

With three books published, her clients include Vogue, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Oscar de la Renta Kids, Elle Magazine, Marie Claire, Monocle, El País, Hooligans Magazine, la Petite Magazine and a variety of catalogues.

Isabel splits the summer seasons between Lisbon and Cape Town, living mainly between the two.

We work in a fully equipped 250m² open warehouse studio with a team that embraces several responsibilities that go beyond photography, including food styling, background creation and prop styling. We have been working for more than eight years for agencies including Grow Comunicación and Tux&Gill, among others.
