The Rebello is a 5* hotel where raw heritage meets bold, contemporary design. Standing on the riverbank in Vila Nova de Gaia, it breathes new life into four restored 19th-century warehouses. Once home to local industry and manufacturing, these buildings now frame 103 apartment-style suites and rooftop terraces, where industrial grit meets refinement through Portuguese art and craftsmanship.

For productions, The Rebello offers scale and flexibility: expansive river views towards Porto’s historic centre, a rooftop bar with cinematic sunsets, soulful dining at Pot&Pan, a Roman bath–inspired spa with Tranquillity Water Lounge, and generous suites extending to three-bedroom duplex.

Textures of stone, wood and iron create visual deptht. Meeting rooms and common areas adapt easily for shoots, events and brand activations.

Set beside the last traditional Rabelo’s shipyard and minutes from Porto’s UNESCO-listed centre, the hotel pairs heritage and creative energy with relaxed, 5-star service.

"I specialise in capturing authentic human experiences through both film and photography, working closely with clients, creatives, and producers to bring unique visions to life. Recent projects include campaigns for Omada Health in LA, JBL in NY, Google in Portland, and Bank of America in Boise, each of which allowed me to create impactful 360 campaigns and manage combo/shadow shoots in varied settings.

Internationally, my work has taken me to Japan, Ghana, China, Singapore, Vietnam, Chile, and Budapest, Hungary, providing me with a global perspective and enriching my approach to storytelling.

As a photographer and director, my company, Mashed Potatoes, LLC, specialises in producing both photography and film shoots. We also collaborate quietly and seamlessly with broadcast shoots to create complementary still campaigns."

Are you f*ing listening? Gordon Ramsay was, when he performed brilliantly for Samuel McElwee and the latest PolyAI campaign for which he shot stills and their TVC, which first aired at the recent Superbowl. 1.5 million views in a day!

You might think this was the high point so far for Horton-Stephens, in 2026, but they also just completed the new Cyber Essentials campaign for the National Cyber Security Centre, shooting stills with the ever-brilliant George Logan.

In a fascinating production process, these stills were then used to inform AI motion creation by their amazing AI artist Alys Thomas. They told Production Paradise that it was a shoot that embodied their goal to work responsibly and ethically with AI and to have a workflow that allowed the M&C Saatchi creative team to steer the results the whole way through. It was a process that involved AI as a wonderful tool, yet still engaged photography, stylists, models, location scouts, producers and all the usual large shoot team. Part of the future for sure and a great one to add to well over 10,000 shoots they’ve already produced.

Besides that, here’s always much more to see, including a food division and photographers specialised at shooting alongside TVC productions or sometimes shooting the motion themselves.
