Rising star Caio Borem has a very signature style. If he appears on your Instagram feed, you’ll instantly recognise his work. The colour red is usually very prominent. We asked him a few questions about his work.
Q. What made you fall in love with photography?
‘Turning ideas into reality through creative shoots definitely made me fall in love with photography. It’s a beautiful sense of satisfaction when you have an idea in your head and you go out and shoot and the picture comes out better than the vision you had in mind, it’s an amazing feeling. Especially when you have full creative control”
Q. What made you decide to just start shooting in red? Any particular significance to the colour?
“It’s science. Red is scientifically the first colour to catch your attention due to its high visibility. That’s why stop signs, danger signs and fire equipment is red. Also, it raises respiration rates, blood pressure and is related to emotion. Love. Anger. All of that. So I thought if my whole page is red, there’s just no way to ignore it. It will catch your attention if you want it to or not. But the most important reason is that red is my favourite colour”.
Q. People not into photography may not be aware of this… but editing takes A LOT of time right? What’s the longest it has taken on a single picture?
“Editing is also the most important part of the process, you can take a great picture but if your editing isn’t good, it’ll ruin the picture. But it depends on the picture and the complexity of the edit, basic portraits will take me 30 minutes to edit but my levitation shoots will take me sometimes 2-3 days”.
Q. What do you love about fashion photography?
“Everyone you shoot with has their own fashion sense. And since I don’t work with a stylist, I let the model decide what to wear which is dope because you can really see the diversity in everyone’s sense of style and fashion.”
Q. What’s next for Caio Borem? Any big plans or goals?
“This year is going to be the biggest year of my life. I will be travelling to 20 countries in 12 months. Shooting models in each country I go to which will be an extremely remarkable experience that not many people get to have. I’m combining my two passions, photography and travelling. Hopefully, in due time, I can be an inspiration and example to any one who wants to have their passion as their career”.

His photographs are like when you read a book and watch a movie inspired in that book, but you don't know which one is better. Actually one supplements the other. It's so fascinating you get addicted to it. That's how I feel about Caio's photos. It is a must see.
He is talented. We loved his work.
